Nothing motivates students more than building an app that they care about that they can immediately see, use, and share. We start there and then students modify their own app using actual code. In this 5 hour curriculum, students will build a mobile app using Windows App Studio and extend and enhance the app using Visual Studio. Students will learn the basics of the App ecosystem and software development lifecycle. They will also learn about code modification and additional basic app coding skills including the topics of variables, simple data types, conditional programming constructs and simple library classes.
