Coding Club: Mobile App Dev Workshop (Gr. 6-8)

About the Coding Club

The Coding Club offers a diverse array of in-person workshops tailored for school-age students interested in delving into coding and exploring popular digital tools. From May to June 2024, we present an exciting lineup of workshops covering various topics such as user interface and experience design, programming logic foundations (using Python), web design, mobile app development, and game development. Join these workshops to refine your coding skills and unlock your creative potential in the dynamic world of coding and digital innovation!

Mobile App Dev with Thunkable

The Mobile App Dev workshop will introduce Grade 6-12 students to fundamental coding concepts and how to code a mobile app. At the end of the workshop, students will be given the opportunity to present their projects and celebrate their accomplishments. This workshop is beginner-friendly and will use Thunkable, which is a drag-and-drop app builder.

After the workshop, students have the option to stay for project time. During project time, students can work on their own project ideas with the support of workshop instructors. Please note that a separate sign up is required if the student wants to attend project time.
