In this 50-minute session, participants will be introduced to the Coding Platform created to design, build, code, test, and debug mobile apps. Students will develop and code their first one-screen app and test its functionality.

Class experience

Students learn to pay attention to detail, to think critically, and to be patient by designing, creating, and programming one prototype of a mobile app. 

As an engineer by trade, an educator by heart Lucy Tamez founded Bright & Smart in 2005. We have been teaching and developing our programs for the past 15 years. We create our programs with students learning experience in mind; we want them to learn to love STEM, and to develop their higher cognitive skills and natural abilities, we help them to see themselves as creators of technology.  
Homework Offered
Depending on students' availability and passion, they can continue improving their app in between meetings.
Assessments Offered
