How to Implement

• Girls will work in the same teams of 3 or 4 that they did for the previous Paint Pot activities.
• In this final Paint Pot activity, the girls will add functionality to their apps so users can take a picture for the background of the canvas and save it directly to the app.
• Have the girls go to Thunkable, open their last Paint Pot file, and then do a Save As. Name the new file with the corresponding number of the tutorial, like this:

TeamNamePaintPotSix_V1

• In this challenge teams will change their app to be able to upload pictures from the device’s camera and save them between app sessions.
• Have them follow along with the Paint Pot 6 tutorial.
• Wrap-up discussion
  • What does it mean to say that data is persistent? Persistent data is data that can be saved and retrieved the next time the app is used.
  • What's the benefit of using a TinyDB in an app?
  • When and how often does the Screen1.Initialize block engage and what is its purpose? The Screen1.Initialize block engages once when the user opens the app. The purpose of the block is to set the background image of the app based on whether the user has previously uploaded an image.
  • Are there other apps where initialization happens? FlipGrid, Google Maps, games
