[Yr7-10it] Invitation - Programming Cell Phones with App Inventor

[Bianca van Meeuwen]

Programming Cell Phones with App Inventor
Thanks to a Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Research Grant we are able to have Barbara Ericsson ( Georgia Tech, USA) lead this workshop which will introduce you to creating mobile apps using App Inventor. App Inventor is similar to Scratch in that you do drag and drop programming. App Inventor was originally created by Google for Android phones, but will be supported by MIT in the future (Jan 2012). 

After completing this workshop teachers will be able to:
Set up a computer and phone for App Inventor 
Create apps that use GUI elements such as buttons, labels, image sprites, and timers 
Create apps that use the accelerometer and camera 
Create apps that use lists 
Know where to go for more tutorials and resources
This workshop is free and by invitation only. Complimentary light lunch provided. Limited spaces available.
