The UNESCO YouthMobile Initiative has launched the 1st of a series of training workshops of young students in mobile apps programming in Abuja, Nigeria.
MOSTEC (MIT Online Science, Technology, and Engineering Community) is a six-month program for eligible rising seniors offered through the MIT Office of Engineering Outreach Programs. It combines online curriculum with a week long on-site project-based workshop at MIT. One of the tracts offered was mobile app development with App Inventor!
Due to the hard work and dedication of Adel Kassah, a middle school computer science teacher in Tunisia, the App Inventor platform is now translated into French!
Mid-July, 2015, 60 local high school students converged upon MIT Sloan Business School to partake in the week long, free Samsung Mobile App Academy. Since the curriculum utilized MIT App Inventor to create mobile apps, no prior coding experience was required!
