Programming Workshops

App Creation Workshop

There's a smartphone app for everything in today's world. In fact, choosing the right app can sometimes be overwhelming. Wouldn't it be great if we could simply create the app that's the perfect match for our needs? Children at our workshop will learn how to make their own apps for both iPhones and Androids. Simple mobile games, quotes of the day, or applications, helping your shopping, workout or diet routine.

They can make a mobile game, a calorie counting app, or anything else they can think of. The workshop will also give your child a taste of basic visual programming. By the end of the workshop, they'll be able to develop an app which could even be published on Google Play or the App Store!
