Description:

Visual, ā€œblockā€ based programming has arrived, and in this experience campers will be able to get a simple app up and running on their iPhone or Android mobile devices within 30-60 minutes of their first camp experience. But donā€™t let the quick start fool you ā€“ MITā€™s ingenious App Inventor supports the creation of complex, high-impact apps. This block-based visual programming environment combines sophisticated logic with a great visual environment easing young learners into application development. Upon completing this camp the student should ā€¢ Complete multiple apps ready for use and deployment on their own mobile devices (or mom and dadā€™s!) ā€¢ Acquire logic and decision making skills ā€¢ Gain an understanding of app development processes and the ā€œarchitectureā€ required to build apps (client / server / development environment / deployment / networks, etc) ā€¢ Imagine games, code games, play games and have fun with programming! No prior programming experience required ā€“ basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. A mobile device (phone or tablet) is advisable, but apps will work on a simulator without the mobile device.
