2019 Competition: CREATE AN APP THAT SOLVES A PROBLEM!
2019 Competition: CREATE AN APP THAT SOLVES A PROBLEM!
Do you have an idea to make work easier or solve a problem through technology, that would work on your phone? brainstorm ideas for a new application that is designed to solve a problem. In order to develop an idea for a new application, research based questions need to be answered to ensure all aspects of the application are taken into consideration. After research has been conducted the programmer should begin sketching possible interface layouts for their solution. Every mobile app starts with an idea – whether the idea is vague or concrete, the designer should sketch out what they envision for their final app. Create a detailed storyboard for your app to highlight the interface, functions, and features. Then design a prototype phone, any accessories, and screen cards to display how the user will interact with the application. THEN, using MIT App Inventor, design the layout of your app and code your application to simulate your applications purpose.
