Single Instructor-Draft

This course introduces students to the world of mobile app development. Students will learn how to design Mobile apps, add various user interfaces and sensors to the app, and connect and control them using block-based programming.

By the end of this course, students will:

• Understand how mobile apps work and different types of them.

• Understand different types of User interfaces.

• Learn how to program full working mobile apps using block-based programming.

• Learn programming basics like variables, functions, conditions, loops, events, data types, etc.

• Learn about different sensors in their phones and how to get their readings and use them in the app.

• Learn about databases and how to use them in their apps.

• Develop problem-solving and logical thinking skills.

The course consists of 3 levels, where each level is 4 sessions.

This level takes children to the next stage of game design using Kodu Game Lab, where they move beyond basic ideas and start building more structured and interactive 3D games.

Throughout this level, students create a variety of exciting game types such as racing tracks, target challenges, and exploration-based adventures. They learn how to design environments using different terrains, guide player movement, and build clear game objectives.

Children also begin to program smarter game behavior by using rules that control how characters move, react, and interact with the world around them. They explore how to combine different elements like land and water, create paths, and design levels that are both fun and challenging.

Through hands-on practice, students strengthen their logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. They learn how to plan their ideas, test their games, fix mistakes, and continuously improve their designs.

By the end of the level, children will be able to design complete 3D games with clear goals, interactive gameplay, and engaging environments, while confidently expressing their ideas through game design.
