Icon Coding

Tynker's icon coding is designed specifically for young children aged 5-7 who have limited motor skills and are still developing hand-eye coordination. Picture-based icon coding helps them learn to code using big blocks, pictures, voiceovers and tap-tap-tap interactions, without words or drag-and-drop or any other actions they may find too tedious or overwhelming.

What Kids Learn

  • Tell visual stories with icon coding
  • Build 4 custom projects
  • Control virtual scenes with code
  • Code a story with emojis
  • Create a dance party

How Kids Learn with Tynker

Kids learn on their own with a guided, hands-on approach that individualizes the learning experience. Tynker's online courses provide a complete learning system for your child to master the fundamentals of programming. Tynker's visual programming language makes it easy to learn, and once kids gain proficiency, they can seamlessly transition to Javascript coding within the Tynker learning system. Enroll in one of our plans for unlimited play across all courses.

Game-Based Learning

Tynker's self-guided lessons break down coding concepts while solving puzzles and making cool apps.
