Curiosity Gym

Mobile App & Game Development

Grades 6-7 |12  sessions | 1 hours a day

OVERVIEW

In this course, students will be exposed to the building blocks of an Android application using MIT App Inventor. This integrated web application is an intuitive, visual programming environment that allows everyone – even kids – to build fully functional apps for smartphones and tablets.

This block based approach for creating apps facilitates the creation of complex, high-impact apps in significantly less time than traditional programming environments. In this course, you will be inspired to make creative and meaningful mobile apps. We teach fundamental programming logic along with the tools required to develop apps, empowering you to create, rather than just use software technology.
