Build Your Own App (Coding + Entrepreneurship)

In this course, your child will learn the skills to be a coder and the mindset to be an entrepreneur, through actually building and releasing an iPhone app with their peers! Students will gain an exciting set of 21st-century tech skills, work as a group, and learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. In the beginning of the course, students learn about logic, coding, and design and collaborate on exercises. As a final project, they’ll make an app for a real, local non-profit organization in Providence. Previous students have created real apps being used right now by a mental health charity, a New York non-profit, and a charter school in the UK.

Students don’t need any previous experience or special software: just creativity, interest in coding or design, and the desire to have fun!  All they need is a laptop and by the end, they’ll have their own iPhone app on the App Store to share with family and friends just like a Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
