Frequently Asked Questions

Every month kids will be creating different types of web apps. Depending on which Kit you select (based on your child’s experience level) your child will be learning to create everything from interactive story books to games and puzzles!

Yes! We recommend, if your child is younger, that the Discovery Series would be the best place to start. Note that support from an adult will likely be needed.  For the Game Maker Series, if your child is younger than the recommended age but has experience and feels comfortable creating apps in the Discovery Series, we encourage kids to give the Game Maker Series a try! If it’s not a good fit we’ll happily issue a refund.

Your child does not need any coding knowledge to use Wyz Kits or Wyz Create. Our app-making platform uses visual drag-and-drop objects and a huge scripting library so kids can jump right into building real, powerful web apps without the common frustrations of traditional programming.

NOTE – We do recommend that for our more advanced Kit, the Game Maker Series, that your child be comfortable with Wyz Create, and have a familiarity with coding/programming principles as the Series is considered intermediate-advanced.

The Build section‘s video tutorials for each kit should take close to an hour. (These videos are divided for easy stopping points if you need to take breaks.) Depending on your series subscription, you’ll have various additional content (like App-Making Challenges and Bonus Hacks!) that will give your child many more opportunities for creation time throughout the month.

A web app is very similar to an app that you might have on your phone, only you can access it from all mobile devices or computers, not just iPhones or Android phones.  A unique URL address is assigned to your particular web app and when you access the URL, the created webapp will be there, universally sharable to whomever you choose to share it with.

An iPad or M1 Mac are required along with a system update of iOS 12.0 or higher.

We recommend downloading and using Wyz Create on an iPad and then signing into your Wyz Create account on a computer or iPad to follow along with the Kit’s Build tutorials on a separate screen.

Log into your Wyz Create account. Then tap the picture-in-picture icon at the top right of your Wyz Create app to follow the tutorials from right within Wyz Create on your iPad!

If you’re not already logged into your Wyz Create account via My Cloud in the Wyz Create app, you’ll need to log in through this picture-in-picture window to proceed.
