Every TinkRworks project includes access to the TinkRworks Portal, the central location for STEAM coding and all the tools you need to facilitate classroom instruction, complement core curriculum, target essential standards, support project construction, and administer assessments. 

Classroom Management Tools

The TinkRworks Portal simplifies lesson management and student monitoring. It helps students catch up, allows messaging, code review, and resource sharing.

Success Right Out Of The Gate

TinkRworks integrates the most effective instructional components to support STEAM education in K-8 classrooms.

All materials are accessed through the TinkRworks Portal. They include:

Lesson Plans

Detailed curriculum maps provide a comprehensive overview for each lesson—including learning objectives, key concepts, vocabulary, pacing suggestions, and how content is aligned to grade-specific standards.

Content-rich slides are used to help structure lessons with background information and lead classroom discussion. Detailed notes are included for educators as they guide students through each lesson.

Every project arrives with ready-to-teach activity guides to supplement lessons—including learning objectives, materials needed, setup procedure, detailed instructions on how to administer and discuss the activity, and troubleshooting tips to aid instructors.

Formal and informal assessments offer a combination of multiple choice, written response, and true/false questions. Students may be assessed on content-specific understanding and/or their ability to create, understand, or troubleshoot programming. Digital portfolios are also included as a place for students to document and reflect on their experience.

Testimonials

What Our Partners
Are Saying​

“Not only are students interested in the science and coding, but they also enjoy the struggle. The program helps students to approach problems and learn how to persist. They learn by making mistakes and problem solving. This is how innovation happens and this is what happens in life.”

AARON ESPER, PH.D.

Director of CTE and Special Projects The Career Academy Network of Public Schools

“With more than 50% English learners, our students gravitate to the program because they can engage deeply with the concepts. Students love the hands-on and coding aspects but they’re also developing science vocabulary and communication skills.”

JON BARICOVICH

Director of Assessment at Cook County/Summit District 104

“TinkRworks not only teaches students science and coding but also develops life skills. Students get to practice how to solve problems by talking them through and communicating with their peers. You literally see their confidence grow.”
