Students will learn about the world of computer science and how it can relate to them.. Computer science holds possibilities for students' future careers. Students will connect computer science with issues, activities, products, media, and people that already have their interest. They will be introduced to the idea that CS is a collaborative and social experience. They will learn that they can become producers of CS products as they learn to use Code.org's App Lab,  . 

In this unit, students will make a simple app to introduce CS in a way that motivates students with different levels of CS experience. Students will be introduced to the process of designing and coding an app. 

Students and teachers explore careers in Computer Science and learn skills to develop an App from start to finish (as opposed to remixing). Teachers guide students as they learn and practice routines for designing and programming in a block-based environment.

Students develop and/or remix apps that can perform increasingly complex functions. Most useful apps perform more than a single function. Students learn and apply their developing computer science skills to increase their apps usefulness.

In this unit, the teachers and students organize an App Fair or other event to share their apps with their communities.
