Today, there’s an app for every possible need. With this unit you can take learners through the entire process of creating their own mobile app, using App Lab from code.org. Building on the programming concepts learners used in previous units, they will work in pairs to perform user research, design their app, write the code for it, before finally evaluating and publishing it for the world to use.
Week 1:
Identify when a problem needs to be broken down
Implement and customise GUI elements to meet the needs of the user
Week 2:
Recognise that events can control the flow of a program

Use variables in an event-driven programming environment
Develop a partially complete application to include additional functionality
Week 3:
Identify and fix common coding errors
Pass the value of a variable into an object
Establish user needs when completing a creative project
Week 4:
Apply decomposition to break down a large problem into more manageable steps
Use user input in a block-based programming language
Use a block-based programming language to create a sequence
