Apptastic! with App Inventor

Pre-Visit Information

To ensure a successful day, it is essential to review BOTH the Program Specific Information below AND the General Guidelines!

 

Program Specific Information

IMPORTANT!

1. Before coming to the program, divide the students into pairs. Put two pairs of students together to form a working group of four. Please consider how students are partnered as they will be working together building an App they choose. In the case of "odd numbers", groups of 3 are preferred over groups of 5. Maximum number of groups: 8.
2. Before coming, remind students:
   1. this program is not “an outing”, it is a “work day”
   2. all program materials are provided, no need to bring personal pencils, paper, etc.
3. Students need to bring a packed lunch and a drink. TUSC is a Platinum EcoSchool - Waste-Free Lunches are expected!
4. Students need two TTC tickets: one to get to the program and one to return to school.
