Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram have become our everyday essential apps and your child may be the creator of the next BIG thing that you will use in your life. We nurture future leaders in technology by allowing students to explore the path of mobile app development. The MIT App Inventor Platform allows students to create fully functional mobile apps.
With intuitive, visual drag-and-drop programming, our App Inventor curriculum guides students to apply computational thinking and creativity to design their own apps and put them to test immediately on their phones. They can build simple fun apps such as Countdown Timer, Racing Game, Robot Shooter Game and more! Hear about it firsthand from our students who got to present their apps and placed 2nd at the MIT App Inventor Summit (USA).
App Inventor Fundamental’s goal is to introduce mobile app programming, instil confidence and an adventurous spirit for students to continue exploring to become little app creators. This course is suitable for students aged 10-12 in the current year.
Lesson 1: Introduction to App Inventor
Learn about the smartphone and its touch interface Explore the App Inventor Interface Load and run mobile Apps
Lesson 2: Events-driven Programming
Understand the event-driven nature of App Inventor programming Learn to use variables and procedures
Lesson 3: Graphics and Animation
Make your animation come alive on your mobile phone Using computational logic (conditional/comparison operators)
Lesson 4: Gaming Time
Learn to put all the knowledge into developing an interactive game on mobile phone
Lesson 5: Project Showcase
Work on your game/app/animation concept Use the techniques you have learned to create your own program Show and tell.

Mic testing, 1, 2, 3. Upon completing App Inventor Fundamental, spearhead your child’s growth in the field of mobile app development today! Delve into an array of functions on the MIT App Inventor 2 Platform such as Voice-to-Speech and GPS tracker to develop sophisticated phone applications of your child’s desire. The limit is but their imagination.
App Inventor 2 will uncover the detail-oriented side of students as they enter the process of wireframing to strive to build an app that can solve a real-world problem. Our fun-packed activities in the course will break down complex design and programming concepts to bite-size for students to digest. Watch as your child master the art of mobile app creation!
Completing this module is a prerequisite for the App Inventor Specialization.
