Students will build their projects using an emulator on their computer. The emulator works just like an Android, but appears on the computer screen rather than a mobile device. Students will receive instructions on how to design a user interface, then coding its functionality. Some of the existing apps students will create in this session include a digital Magic 8-Ball, Ball Bounce, smartphone sketch pad, Whack-a-Mole, and mini-golf. Students are welcome to test on their current Android phone if they obtain one. If you’re new to coding, give it a try! Don’t just have fun this summer, learn to create apps that will amaze your friends! The emulator can be downloaded on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup-emulator.html
