How It Works:

Start a Course

From your student dashboard, select EXPLORE and search — or browse to Tynker’s Robotics courses. Choose any one of the Robotics courses that sounds appealing. Note that special hardware is required for most of these courses. The Augmented Reality course is a great place to begin if you already have a computer or tablet with a webcam.

But you can sample as many courses as you like to find the right fit. You don’t need to buy hardware to check out the lessons.

Completing Lessons

All Tynker lessons are self-guided. Each interactive lesson includes concept introductions, coding puzzles, step-by-step tutorials, and assessments. As you advance through each course, your work is automatically saved, and you can restart wherever you left off. You’ll unlock badges and achievements, too, as you make progress.
