App Development using MIT App Inventor

Want your kids to start their journey into coding? MIT App Inventor is a great place to start. It is a visual programming environment(https://appinventor.mit.edu/) that allows children to build fully functional apps for smartphones.

Kids learning MIT App Inventor will be able to develop a simple first app in less than 30 minutes. It is a blocks-based programming tool that allows kids to visually program an app in less time and with less complexity than traditional programming environments.

About This Course!

Students will become familiar with the tools in MIT App Inventor and practice app development. The platform has two sections: Design and Blocks. In the Design section, we add and arrange components to achieve the desired output. In the Blocks section, we design the actual code, specifying actions for application components. This course is ideal for kids aged 8 and above who are new to programming or seeking to enhance their skills. We offer both offline and online modes. To participate, students will need a laptop, iPad, tablet, or PC (Windows, iOS) and a reliable internet connection.

What you’ll learn!

01

Basic

In this module, students will learn to design user interfaces using text boxes, buttons, and connect with emulators. They will also discover how to navigate from one screen to another, enhancing their app’s functionality. Additionally, students will explore working with images and alignments, essential skills for creating visually appealing apps.

E.g. Calculator, Alarm app, Login page, etc.

02

Intermediate

Students will learn to integrate the voice module, enabling apps to provide voice feedback in response to user inputs. They will also create databases using TinyDB, Firebase, and other tools to store and manage data.

E.g. Digital doodle, Quiz game, shopping cart, etc.

03

Advance

Working with Cloud DB for storing the data Adding several other components like camera and video player etc.

E.g. age calculator, dairy app, chat app, and games like coin collector, ping-pong game, etc.

04

Certification test

In the end, students will be assessed based on a certification project built on their own.

E.g. Mini-golf, Football, etc.
