about project

project idea

The project explores young people's interest in new technologies, taking into account the ubiquity and portability of mobile devices, widely accessible to our students. In addition, the project allows the implementation of Web 2.0 concept, in which the users become simultaneously consumers and producers of information, knowledge, content and applications.
The project wants to promote the development of applications for mobile devices - smartphones and tablets - using the MIT App Inventor platform. 
The MIT App Inventor platform introduces an innovative approach to apps programming, because it allows the use of a visual programming language, based on the use of blocks, similar to Scratch. App Inventor makes it easy to introduce key concepts and programming principles in an attractive and motivating way for students.
