Abstract

Building a mobile app can be simple, even for people with no programming experience! In this hands-on session, you will experience how to use Thunkable platform to create a translation and image recognition app, and learn some basic programming knowledge. Bring your own laptop and a mobile phone, and experience app-making in a DIY-way! *For Undergraduate students only **Bring your own devices (laptop and mobile phone)

The Apps Resource Centre help students develop a combination of design and programming skills by providing guidance and mentoring from professional computer programmers and designers.

We aim to:

  1. Develop mobile apps to address problems lecturers have in their courses with Hong Kong students.
  2. Create a studio-based learning atmosphere conducive to fostering creativity and innovation, under which students can exercise their problem-solving and design skills through the creation of mobile apps.
  3. Encourage students to serve the larger community by creating mobile apps benefiting educational, social, and environmental causes.

The Apps Resource Centre is a cross-institutional initiative funded by The University Grants Committee of Hong Kong: “Coding, Design, and Global Involvement: Engaging Students in Multi-domain Active Learning Through the Creation of Mobile Apps and an Apps Resource Centre (ARC)”  (HKBU1/T&L/16-19)
