Description
Are you looking for a great application to introduce coding to your children? Tynker Jr. is the one of the best. Its attractive graphics and fun features will develop your children’s curiosity for programming.
Application Overview
Inspired by the Tynker app for grown-ups, Tynker Jr. is specifically designed for little children aged 5 to 7, who are still learning how to read. It introduces programming to the little ones through blocks of wordless code. All they have to do is move through the different mazes, using the coding instructions provided.
On Tynker Jr., children have the ability to navigate between three universes:
- Wild Rumble
- Oceans Odyssey
- Robots
What we like that the app is easy to use. Children will easily learn and understand the basics of coding such as:
- Pattern recognition.
- Sequencing
- Meters
- Loops
- Events.
As part of their missions, small explanations or instructions are provided to enable them understand how to move forward and solve the labyrinth. As they progress, the difficulties increase.
The application might be in English, but it can be used by children because they don’t need understand or write the language.
We like it because it’s easy to use, learning is simple and the universe proposed is very colorful. On top of that, Tynker Jr. provides children with a great knowledge of flora and fauna.
