INTRODUCTION TO MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Introduction

This session presents an exciting opportunity for all participants to immerse themselves in the realm of mobile app development. It is dedicated to acquainting bootcamp participants with the essential principles of mobile app development. Throughout the session, the focus will be on acquiring the skills to code and craft one's own mobile applications from scratch. MIT App Inventor will serve as our primary tool for this educational journey, providing a user-friendly platform that empowers novices to transform their app concepts into reality.

The session has been meticulously crafted to cater to individuals who are entirely new to coding or possess some prior experience. Our aim is to guide participants from a starting point of minimal understanding to a level where they can proficiently develop a basic mobile application by the conclusion of the session.
