PLTW (Project Lead The Way) App Creators is a middle school course that introduces students to computer science through mobile app development.
Students learn computational thinking, app design, and programming using tools like MIT App Inventor. The course encourages creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration as students develop apps to address real-world problems.
App Creators (Overview)
App Creators (Overview)
This unit will expose students to computer science by computationally analyzing and developing solutions to authentic problems through mobile app development, and will convey the positive impact of the application of computer science to other disciplines and to society.
Students will customize their experience by choosing a problem that interests them from the areas of health, environment, emergency preparedness, education, community service, and school culture. Because problems in the real world involve more than one discipline, the unit will introduce students to biomedical science concepts as they work on solutions for the specific problems they choose to tackle.

This class will use the MIT App Inventor website to build the "back-end code" and also design the "front-end aesthetics" of each application created for class.
