What's Inside!

Our creativity tools, interactive story-based lessons, and fun characters will motivate students to learn fundamental programming concepts and take their first big steps toward coding.

What You'll Learn:

  • Learn how modules make Python even more powerful and extensible to solve real-world problems in every field.
  • Learn Pandas and Matplotlib - the Data Science libraries used by the pros to manipulate NASA data sets.
  • Design interactive artwork, and arcade games, then manipulate images using Processing.
  • Use Python to perform mathematical and scientific tasks using SymPy and NumPy.

Students with coding experience can skip ahead with a placement test.

Prerequisites: Python 2 or Test Placement recommended

Elective Courses: Web development, Image Processing, JavaScript Game Design, MicroPython

Recommended for Ages 12+

How It Works:

Guided Learning

If you’ve never coded before, start with Level 1. Complete each Lesson — your progress will be saved as you advance through the Lesson Map.

Take a Placement Test

If the first few lessons seem too easy for you, go to Level 2 (or whichever level seems most appropriate given your experience). You’ll be prompted to complete a placement test. After completing it, you’ll be placed in the correct level. If you advance, all lessons from previous levels will be unlocked, so that you can go back and explore exciting coding projects and challenges.

Note: Without successfully passing a placement test, you won’t be able to skip ahead. You can also complete all the lessons on the map to proceed to the next level.

Complete All Lessons

Level 6 has 48 coding lessons in 6 units. You should be able to finish each lesson in about 20-30 minutes, but you can complete them at your own pace. We recommend completing a lesson every day, but you can decide to go faster or slower. A routine of coding and learning can help anyone achieve success.

All Tynker lessons are self-guided. Each interactive lesson includes concept introductions, coding puzzles, step-by-step tutorials, and assessments.

Earn a Certificate

At the end of each unit, practice tests will help students prepare for the end-of-level assessments. By completing the Assessment Test with a score of 80% or higher, you’ll earn a certificate. A certificate is not required to continue to the next level. However, we recommend that students complete the level assessment and earn these credentials so that they can share their accomplishments with prospective colleges or employers.
