Description

This unit takes pupils from designer to developer in order to create their own mobile app. Using App Lab from code.org, learners will familiarise themselves with the coding environment and have an opportunity to build on the programming concepts they used in previous units to undertake a project.

As pupils’ programming skills develop, they are ready to take on a more ambitious project that brings together the key constructs they have previously learned. This unit introduces a new block-based environment, giving pupils the chance to apply their knowledge of sequence, selection, iteration, and variables in a fresh context. By designing and building a mobile app, they experience the full process of planning, problem-solving and refining their work, showing them how programming can be used to create practical, real-world solutions.
