Basics X App Inventor 2 ONLINE CAMP

BUILDING WITH APP INVENTOR

Prerequisites: Basics X - App Inventor 1

Basics X is a supplementary, topic-based series of courses offered on a seasonal basis featuring topics in block-based computer programming. Each iteration of this course will focus on a specific topic over 8 lessons designed to stimulate kids’ curiosity and challenge them in various technological domains - examples of topics covered in previous iterations include machine learning using Scratch X; the Internet of Things (IoT) exploring hardware using the micro:bit; and Mobile Programming using App Inventor.

This course involves mobile programming and more complex data types with App Inventor that will cement Code Campers’ understanding of mobile programming concepts through multiple and iterative build experiences of increasing complexity. The builds will include social, entertainment, lifestyle and/or media apps.

Code Campers will develop a deeper awareness of user experiences so that they may design user interfaces with greater empathy. Their improved literacy in App Inventor will also enable them to harness each coding tool and concept honed throughout the Basics roadmap to solve different real-world problems both independently and collaboratively.
