Education

At George Washington High School in West Virginia, teacher Martin Nicolay made Thunkable the core of his intro app design course, and enrollment doubled from 45 to 90 students in one year. See how a weekly learn-by-building rhythm, a month-long final project and a practical approach to AI helped first-time coders build working apps of their own.

See how Craig De Toma’s cybersecurity students build real apps in Thunkable and leave with portfolio proof employers can see.

Thunkable has been added to Florida's 2026–27 CAPE Industry Certification Funding List, giving eligible Florida schools and districts a state-supported funding pathway to bring app-building into career and technical education programs.

This summer, ~120 West Virginia high schoolers built roughly 80 real mobile apps using Thunkable through an AI education pilot backed by The Rockefeller Foundation and the state. The program drove hands-on AI/entrepreneurship learning, with 44% of participants reporting increased interest in starting their own businesses.

Thunkable is attending Futures Summit 2026 ("Human Skills in an Autonomous World") on September 9–10 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, joining 1,000+ educators and innovators. The team is excited to discuss AI/emerging tech in education, human skills alongside technical fluency, and preparing students for the workforce. Attendees can visit Thunkable's booth or book a live demo to build an app in three minutes.

Come visit us at West Virginia ACTE! We will be speaking about our program engaged West Virginia students with AI, Entrepreneurship, and App Development skills.

Thunkable has been recognized as one of the world’s top 150 companies transforming digital learning as the fusion of AI and education reshapes how people learn and work.

Third and fourth-grade computer science class students had a secret weapon at the Alabama Tech Fair: they built their own mobile apps with Thunkable.
