I just had my first group of 6th graders coding - Instant engagement! Love it (plus now I am a teacher hero). Paula Pletcher Teacher from St. Simon School, IN
Tynker is an absolute success in our school!.. Teachers across Kentucky need to know about Tynker. Jeanine Kearbey Teacher from Craven Elementary School, KY
