In a world where technology touches every aspect of our lives, it is crucial that our children become active creators of technology, not just passive users. What separates those who simply have an idea from those who make their ideas a reality is the ability to program. Our mission is to provide every child with solid foundations in STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programming and critical thinking skills to prepare them to become better architects of their future world. Tynker's creative computing platform helps children develop computational thinking and programming skills in a fun, intuitive and imaginative way. The innovative visual programming language, interactive self-paced courses, and game-based programming activities provide an easy introduction to programming, and empower children to innovate and create. Tynker is available on the Web, on iPad and Android-based tablets so that kids can make fun and useful applications for the same mediums they consume from.
