The tutorial guides below are step-by-step lessons that will get students started with App Inventor programming. The accompanying Teachers' Guides provide information about encouraging students to explore further by extending their projects.

With these beginner-friendly tutorials, you will learn the basics of programming apps for Android and iOS phones and tablets. You will need: You will make a mobile app, so it's fun to see it run on a phone or tablet while you build the app (and after!). Some setup is required to run your apps.

App Inventor is an easy-to-use tool for building both simple and complex Android applications. The apps can easily be ported to your phone, shared with others, or even sent to the Google Play Store for distribution to all Android devices worldwide.

Build the "I Have a Dream" soundboard app and learn the basics of programming with App inventor. You'll learn how an app is a set of event-handlers that respond to the user's touch, an SMS arriving to the phone, or other events.

The Course In A Box is designed for complete beginners to App Inventor. You'll learn how to build mobile apps and share them using App Inventor. Along the way you'll learn important programming concepts and terminology.

The Mobile CSP course uses the visual programming language, MIT App Inventor, to provide a rigorous, programming-based introduction to computer science using a project-based curriculum. Students learn computer science by building socially useful mobile apps.

With video and text-based lessons, Professor Wolber will step you through building progressively more complex apps. You'll learn how to build many types of apps and you'll learn programming concepts and terminology. Start learning with the "I Have Dream" Tutorial.

Before getting started with MIT App Inventor, it is important to get some background in key computer science principles. This chapter addresses the key parts of a mobile operating system and how computer programmers should think about creating applications.

The introduction acclimates students with the App Inventor environment, leads them to building their first apps, including HelloPurr and a painting app, and provides an introduction to event-handlers, function calls, conditionals, variables, and drawing canvases.

How to design and create Android mobile apps using App Inventor; How computer science principles apply to algorithms, programming, the Internet and society; How to think creatively, analytically and abstractly about computational problems
