What is App Inventor?

Developed by Google and managed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), App Inventor is an easy-to-learn online programming and app creation tool for developing Android applications. Children and youngsters can develop different types of Android applications by command blocks, followed by applications test which uses the emulators or Android-based smartphones. During the process of writing computer programs, children and youngsters would be exposed to opportunities to explore more, to think more and to create more. Students will develop their logical reasoning skills and computational thinking skills in this course, and be inspired to develop their interest in programming.

App Inventor is a prevailing introductory programming language in recent years. The concepts learnt and skillsets attained in App Inventor can be applied to other programming languages, for instance, JAVA, C++ and Python, to produce a wider range of complex digital products.
