Create a Real Working Smartphone App - No Coding Required!

In this course, we will build a working app together that students can share, and learn how to build their own. We will create a small dataset on a Google Sheet (spreadsheet) together, and use this data to create an interactive app that works on smartphones. When students build their own app they are able to share the link. We will use some interesting examples (like an app that tells you what animals are at the zoo and allows you to check them off as you see them) and discuss elements of the app, and what methods we could use. The app we build together is a great starting point for students to build their own apps, learn about spreadsheets and connected data, and start thinking about the world of programming. 

This class is great for beginners and advanced users alike and does not involve any coding. 

Students should use a laptop (chromebooks or tablets are not recommended) to take this class, and optionally come prepared with an internet connected cell phone or tablet to download the app to. Taking the class on a tablet only is not recommended as students will enter data into the sheet in the first part of the class.
