Using the MIT App Inventor platform, we’ll guide your child through an entire mobile app development journey. 

MIT App Inventor allows children to make real-world, significant impacts with their apps. Some examples include apps that show communities where to access safe drinking water, teach a language, or even apps that contribute to lowering crime rates. 

Your child will learn and explore:

MIT App Inventor Platform fundamentals 

Graphical and animation skills


A fully functional mobile application of their own, and more!

P201

Introduction to App Inventor and its Interface

Learn about the Smartphone and its touch Interface

Load and run mobile Apps

Events-Driven Programming

Use Variables and Procedures

Graphics and Animation

Conditional/comparison Operators

Make animations come alive on your mobile phone

Development of Own Project

Pour your knowledge into the cauldron to develop an interactive game

P202

Quick Review

Brainstorming for a complex app creation

Learn to use various media components

Voice Recognition

Booleans and Conditionals

If-then…else-then

Logical Operators

Design Thinking

Introduction to phases of Design Thinking (Observation, Ideation, Rapid Prototyping, User Feedback, Iteration, Implementation)

Learning a new programming language without any knowledge or transitioning from Scratch to Python can be daunting to any child. 

With fun and engaging topics like children’s movies, we introduce coding with real-world context to our students. 

Your child will learn and explore:

Introduction to various data types 

String manipulation 

Hackathon and challenges, and much more!

P205

Introduction to Python

Learn to install, setup and run Python

Introduction to the various data types (Eg. Strings, Float, Integers)

Various Data Types

Learn and apply numerical data and Mathematics operators

Calculate the area of a Square/Triangle/Circle

Develop a BMI Calculator

Learn String (text) data and String manipulation

Making Decisions with Conditional Operators

Syntax of if, if-then-else, if and e lif

Develop your own “Baymax” – Your Personal Healthcare Companion

P206

Logical operators and Truth tables

Learning and Applying logical operators (And, Or, Not)

Develop a Movie-Age Checker

While Loops

Using while loops

Applying while loops to Mathematics (Eg. Prime numbers, Lowest Common Multiple)

Problem-sum solving with Guess and Check

Using Modules and Libraries

Random numbers

Hackathon

Timed challenges for students to stretch their abilities

*Students are to complete P2O1 & P202, P205 & P206 before starting on the Advanced Computer Scientist programme. 

In this programme, your child will get to make his or her very own game using the Python Turtle module and applying Python concepts such as defining Functions, List, For Loop and Range(). Using these concepts, your child will learn how to control the turtle, calculate distance, add sound effects or extra features into the game. 

Your child will also go through the process of Game Testing prior to releasing his or her creation. 

Here's an overview of what's covered:

Introduction and Turtle Motion

Colours and Fill Lists

Range and Loops

Key Press and Event Functions

Hackathon
