Week 5: Getting Started with MIT App Inventor

This week we will be begin using MIT App Inventor. This is the program we will be using for the semester to create many different apps! In the first lesson, you will be introduced to App Inventor and learn to create mobile apps. You will learn the main parts of the App Inventor interface - the “Designer” with its components, and the Blocks Editor with its “Drawers” - by changing some components’ properties and code using the TwoButtonGame app. You will also learn how to run and test your apps on Android devices using the MIT AI2 Companion app.
 Objectives:
