The 8th graders are tasked this semester with learning to code apps
Original App
Students went through a multi-week process of creating an app, starting with brainstorming and planning to joining a team, creating, testing, and improving to ultimately publishing and presenting. The apps were made for tablets, but some work well on phones too.
These apps can only be downloaded onto Android devices but you will likely have to change the security settings on your device to allow it.
