Why we like it

What drew us to mTiny is how genuinely screen-free it is. There's no app, no tablet, no secondary device of any kind; the tap pen and coding cards are the entire interface, which makes it rare and valuable for this age group. We appreciate that it introduces logical sequencing and computational thinking in a way that feels like play rather than instruction, with enough variety in the themed maps and game cards to sustain interest over many sessions.
