FOSDEM Junior

Evan Patton

Learn to build your own mobile app with MIT App Inventor

Saturday 09:30-11:00 | UD6.205

In this hands on workshop, you will use MIT App Inventor to build two applications for your Android or iOS device. Those new to MIT App Inventor can have a simple first app up and running in less than 30 minutes. And what's more, our blocks-based tool facilitates the creation of complex, high-impact apps in significantly less time than traditional programming environments. The first app you create will be a cat you can pet to make meow. The second app will allow you to draw your own pictures via touch. Participants must bring both a laptop and a mobile device (phones and tablets are both good, running Android 4.0+ or iOS 12+).
