Let's Start Coding! Visually!
Learn the Basics of Computer Programming with Tynker
What is Tynker?
- Tynker is a visual programming language that uses drag-n-drop logic blocks to teach you programming concepts.
- The sequencing skills will help you think like a programmer.
- Learning these skills visually will make it easier for you to "write" in coding languages such as Javascript and Python later.
Why Should I Learn Coding?
I can give you lots of reasons, but let's hear it from some well-known tech gurus!
