​In this course, we will learn how to use MIT App Inventor to build different apps. We focus on learning coding with MIT App Inventor. At the end of the course, students should be able to understand all the basic user interface components, and We will build a bluetooth connected device that can be controlled by Apps Inventor
​
With the theme of Smart Home, students will create a series of utility apps and mobile games to solve real life problems. We will talk about UN goals, and let students brainstorm, build prototypes, models and apps that solve the global problems. Our target is to inspire students to create solutions that solve real life problem.
