Become an App Inventor: The Official Guide from MIT App Inventor

LoveReading4Kids Says

Supremely clear and authoritative, this official guide from MIT App Inventor demystifies the app creation process to present an accessible, how-to handbook that’ll help youngsters get their head around making their own apps. Best of all, no prior experience is necessary — anyone can follow the instructions to get set-up, get going, get testing and, ultimately, download their creations to share with friends.

With a motivational forward by Gitanjali Rao, Time magazine’s 2020 Kid of the Year, who extolls the fun and practicality of using MIT App Inventor, the book takes readers through each stage of the process, with every detail, term and step explained and shown through clear diagrams and screen mock-ups.

Along the way, the guide talks through creating a translation app, a piano app, a maze game, a tour guide app, and a chat app. In addition, the book is peppered with inspiring profiles of app inventors from around the world, young people whose stories reveal what’s possible, from the Moldovan school girls who invented an app that prevents the spread of hepatitis A, to Arjun, who created a school bus locator app when he was just eleven.

100% user-friendly and comprehensive, Become an App Inventor is a must-have for home inventors and school libraries alike.
