PLTW App Creators introduces students to the field of computer science and the concepts of computational thinking, through the creation of mobile apps. Students are challenged to be creative and innovative, as they collaboratively design and develop mobile solutions to engaging, authentic problems. Students experience the positive impact of the application of computer science to society as well as to other disciplines, particularly biomedical science.
The unit provides students opportunities for self-expression. Teams identify a personal or community problem of interest to them that can be solved with a mobile app solution. The problem can address issues such as health and wellness, the environment, school culture, emergency preparedness, education, community service—the options are endless!
This blog will allow parents and students to stay updated throughout the year. I will post photos and videos of classroom projects as we will have classroom showcase days! Students and parents will be able to add comments and photos as well!!
Students will use MIT App Inventor to code and create real downloadable Apps!!
