Lynx is a text-based, cloud-based programming environment that is the natural next step for kids that are ready to move on from using blocks or pictures to code but might not be quite ready to use more complex, professional programming languages like Python or JavaScript.
Lynx requires a permanent Internet connection and runs well with the following browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge. It does not work with Internet Explorer.
You can use Lynx on all Mac and Windows desktop and laptop computers and Chromebooks.
You can use Lynx on an iPad and Android tablets, however we strongly suggest you have an external keyboard.
