Beth Dichter's insight:
Tynker is another new coding program designed for children that is free. Their philosophy is "that elementary school-aged children should understand the basics of how computers work and how they’re programmed." They have designed their own programming language which is "focused on bringing better STEM education tools into classrooms and is hence geared toward teachers." All the tools are free to use and include lesson plans and interactive tutorials as well as management tools. Projects are geared to student interests, such as buiding games, robots and creating comics.
The modular tools used for programming here look very similar to those developed by MIT for their programme, "Scatch". It am looking for award to trying Tynker out with my Year 2 students as they really enjoyed working with Scratch to create their own games.
This is another coding platform that is free for now. This is designed for children to learn to code.
