Discover how apps work on your phone or iPad and learn how to make your own. In this no-experience-required course, we will make fun, creative apps for Android phones and tablets using MIT App Inventor software. We will also explore wireless communication by building custom bluetooth hardware controllers and readouts for our apps.

Explore Scratch programming, using the MIT-developed programming interface to craft stories and games. Then we will use Makey Makey boards to invent new ways to interact with the Scratch projects using everyday objects. Our circuitry projects will become musical instruments, video game controllers, pressure sensors, and more. No prior coding experience required.

Let’s get creative with electricity! Create your own electronics, such as light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Most class days will include a project you can take home.
