iOS & Android App Development
Wednesdays, Mar 4 - Apr 15 | Grades 3 - 5 | 3:30-5:00 pm
App development has increased manifold in the past 5 years giving makers easier access to essential tools, so give your engineer the knowledge to stay ahead in today’s technological society. We’re offering a unique experience in which students get to code, test, and create their own apps in real-time using an easy-to-understand format. The best part about this program is that they’ll be able to save their created apps right to their (or your own) devices for play anywhere, anytime!
The apps in Unit 1 illustrate the use of 2D coordinates in graphics programming, as well as Bitsbox's fill, stamp, and text commands.
Introduces the use of placeholders for values and making code easier to change. The apps in Unit 2 illustrate the use of variables to store numbers, strings, booleans, and Bitsbox stamp objects. These projects also introduce the Bitsbox move, rotate, and size commands.
Introduces how to run code only if certain conditions are met. The apps in Unit 3 illustrate the use of if/else logic and the tap and drag functions to create interactive apps.
Introduces custom functions to make reusing code easier and shows how to use the Bitsbox repeat and delay commands.
Introduces how to repeat the same code to give the illusion of movement and shows how to use the Bitsbox hits and wrap commands.
Introduces how to have many things happening at once and shows how to use the Bitsbox find and forEach commands.
