Can you Spot Fact or Fake

Students should have already learnt how to design and program simple mobile apps on MIT App Inventor 2 (AI2).

Our App Inventor will explore deeper into MIT AI2 Components and use Computational Thinking to create prototypes of useful mobile apps that can be used to improve a user’s everyday life. They will learn higher level programming concepts such as conditionals, variables and procedures that can be used to program their mobile apps.

Our App Inventor will learn how to apply design principles to improve how the user interacts with (UI Design) and the overall experience a user has (UX design) with a mobile app. They will apply design principles to create a storyboard for their mobile app with the consideration of the user.
