Hello! My name is Mr. Hicks and I teach 6th graders at the Design and Technology Academy (DATA) at Ed White Middle School in San Antonio, Texas. We use the powerful web-based coding interface MIT App Inventor to create apps for Android devices as our last unit of the year. Students have a lot of design experience by this time of year, so they are able to make their own original graphic assets for their programs. It’s always great fun watching them try out the code they have written for themselves!
