• PLTW App Creators is a Project Lead the Way Gateway course for 7th and 8th graders designed to have students explore deeper into programming concepts through mobile app development. Students will design Android apps through MIT App Inventor and will test their apps on tablets. Students will learn about the impact of mobile apps and other computer science applications on education, entertainment, and society. Students will complete three projects by developing three unique apps using the Engineering Design Process to brainstorm, plan, develop, and test their solutions. In the final project, students will choose a real-world problem category that interests them and will have full control to design a mobile app solution.

    PLTW CSIM is the pre-requisite for this course, but students with some background in programming can be successful in this course without having taken CSIM.
