We're going to make a sliding puzzle out of plywood to compose our shcool's name, we'll have a great
time making it in the workshop, drawing, cutting and pasting its wooden parts.
But a sliding puzzle is also a tough mathematical challenge, there's an algorithm to solve it...ready to try it?: link

Note: Coronavirus quarantine period activities, due date 30th of April 2020:
Mandatory: Do at least one of the four Basic tutorials or the practical activities below ( link). I think you'll find the practical activities easier than the tutorials. When your app is
finished take a picture of its "Designer" screen and another of its "Blocks" screen and email them to me indicating in the subject your group and full name. Important!!, your
pictures have to show your computer's whole screen, don't crop them.
Optional: if you like programming apps you can make as many apps as you want, remember that you can get more than 10 points in TPR, even in quarantine, working at home.
Optional: Gifted students and programming lovers only!!. Try the Artificial Intelligence (AI) app, it's not that difficult and it's worth the effort. AI is now one of the hottest topics in science.
Have a look at this page perodically, I'm preparing a final activity to learn how to program with scratch for late April. I will place it on the Scratch section of this page link:
App inventor is a powerful development environment for Google apps online.
Its main advantage: You do not need to install anything on your computer, nor to follow complex configuration instructions. Just register on the development
portal and start creating your own apps.
Steps to start programming your own apps:
1- You need an Android smartphone and a PC connected to the internet through the same Wi-Fi network.
2- (Optional but highly recommended, as it makes things much easier). Install a QR code reader on your Smartphone. Since QR codes are used to install the apps.
3- (Optional, but highly recommended, as it makes app testing much easier). Install the free MIT AI2 companion app on your smartphone.
4- Go to the App Inventor page click on the create button in the upper right corner to register and create your first app.
Practical activities
I'm working now on the practical activities document (it wil be updated periodically) to create a step by step guide to create apps for young students. It contains the same apps as the tutorials, but updated and easier to follow for kids: link
My first app
I love board games, but it really bothers me when the dice falls off the table. I have made an app that rolls a virtual dice when I shake my mobile
roll a dice To download it use the QR code or click on the link app icon. resources
You can have a look at it in the appinventor gallery, just look up "dado soliedra"
