Create your own Game and Apps for your Android phone or tablet this summer. Check out the "Hotshot Android App Programming" camp in the weeks of 7/7 and 7/14. For schedule and more details, visit: http://www.i3techforge.org/?page_id=136 "Learn to build Android apps in hours using App Inventor. MIT App Inventor provides the fastest way to build applications for Android phones and tablets, even with no prior programming experience. Students will learn about buttons, triggers, ...and sensors and how to implement them in event-driven programming. With a combination of step-by-step tutorials, video-casts, and hand-on demonstrations, learn the basics of app development using a visual, block language. As the projects get successively more complex, students are taught important programming concepts that will translate to all software languages. Furthermore, games and apps created in this course by students can be uploaded online to be shared with friends and family." See more
