First, I will show participates how to set up an MIT App Inventor account. Then I will demonstrate how to code basic functions such as linking buttons to pages, creating thinks from buttons to websites. I will teach some basic design techniques that they could use to create a simple app. Then I will teach how to test your app to ensure that it functions correctly.
I will provide takeaway notes so that they can continue creating apps long after the class.
My goal is that all participates will be able to code basic functions in MIT App inventor and that they may take away the information and create something of their own.
I also hope that this workshop will teach participates how the code behind apps work.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:It doesn't matter how many people attend my workshop. It's the same information for everyone and if anyone has any questions, etc. there will be plenty of time to answer all of them. Questions help us all learn. I am also anticipating alot of the questions and hope to answer them as part of my presentation
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:Participates will take away notes from my workshop that they can use in future if they want to continue and develop their apps and try creating new apps. I will include my twitter details and would definitely be open to connecting afterwards. I'm still in contact with people I met at last years mozfest.
I am 16 and live in Ireland. I am passionate about STEM and love creating apps and will enjoy teaching others how to create apps too.
