Unlock the world of Android app design with hands-on creativity.
Students will learn the basics of Android app design and event-driven programming. Using the MIT App Inventor, we will create app background screens and then add elements such as pictures, drawing canvases and buttons. Students will design a variety of simple games and utility apps. We also will learn how to incorporate events so app users can interact with the different elements. For a final project, students will work in groups to design and test their own mobile app. No prior computer experience is required.
