P202 App Inventor 2

About the Programme

With technologies like 5G and the Internet of Things seeing an uptick, mobile application development has all but boomed. There is an increasing need for applications in areas like communication, education, health, finance and more. Give your child a chance to look beneath the surface at how popular applications like Instagram, TikTok and Telegram are constructed. Using the MIT App Inventor platform, we’ll guide your children through an entire mobile app development journey. And yes, they do create their very own fully functional app at the end of the course!

We are always looking out for the next generation of technology innovators that seek to better the world in our classes. The MIT App Inventor allows children to make real-world, significant impacts with their apps. Some examples include apps that show communities where to access safe drinking water, teach a language, or even apps that contribute to lowering crime rates. Our own students have even created apps that monitor and improve passenger safety in the context of the growing ride-hailing industry!
