About Us

Empowering the Makers of Tomorrow

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. We believe that the ability to code allows children to make their ideas a reality. Tynker's mission is to provide every child with solid foundations in Computer Science, programming, and critical thinking skills to prepare them to become better architects of their future world.

Our Journey

Since 2012, Tynker has been on a mission to make coding easy and accessible for kids.

The Team

We're a passionate group of developers, educators, gamers, hackers — oh yeah, and parents.

We started Tynker in order to give our own kids a more engaging introduction to programming. We have offices in Mountain View, Chicago and New York.
