App Creators

Course Description

Take out your phones—let’s create our own Android and iOS apps to share with friends! App Creators is a fun, project-based course that teaches students how a user-friendly, block-based programming language can be used to develop their own mobile apps. Student-created apps include: music apps, animation apps, language translation apps, health & fitness apps, social media apps, environmental apps, culinary apps, and many original games (e.g., no quizzes or tests!). Students learn how to apply an iterative design process similar to what artists, writers, scientists, and engineers use to bring innovative ideas to life. All students in App Creators grow the confidence and computational thinking skills that are in demand across all career fields. No prior coding experience is required—all students are welcome!
