EVENT NAME: WEBINAR ON APP DEVELOPMENT
RESOURCE PERSON: Mr.NIRMAL KUMAR S
SYSTEMS ENGINEER
INFOSYS, CHENNAI
DATE: 18th MAY 2021
TIMING: 11:00AM TO 01:00PM

Learning Objectives
After this activity, students should be able to:
• Design a mobile app for an Android device.
• Create a mobile app for an Android device using MIT’s App Inventor.
• Apply the software/system (engineering) design process.

Students develop an app for an Android device that utilizes its built-in internal sensors, specifically the accelerometer. The goal of this activity is to teach programming design and skills using MIT’s App Inventor software (free to download from the Internet) as the vehicle for learning. The activity should be exciting for students who are interested in applying what they learn to writing other applications for Android devices. Students learn the steps of the engineering design process as they identify the problem, develop solutions, select and implement a possible solution, test the solution and redesign, as needed, to accomplish the design requirements.
