Everything you need to know to enter your mobile app project in a Coolest Projects event.
This category covers projects that involve interactive apps for phones or tablets. You could use App Inventor, a free service that allows you to make mobile apps using a blocks-based programming language, or install and use Android Studio, or any other app development platform.
You can demonstrate your app on a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, or you can use a desktop-based emulator like the one available in Android Studio.
Level: Beginner
Learn to make apps for Android devices with projects that can help people in your community, like an exercise tracker and an accessibility map.
Level: Intermediate
This tutorial from the MIT App Inventor Foundation shows you how to develop a photo booth app that lets you take pictures, assign pictures to canvases, and share pictures via email.
Level: Advanced
Try data science projects from the MIT App Inventor Foundation and create apps for surveys, collecting sensor data, and analysing and visualising spreadsheet data.
For the Coolest Projects online showcase:
Take a short video of your project, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo and make sure it’s set to public, then submit the video URL in the application form.
For Coolest Projects in-person events:
Tell us a bit about your app in the submission form and then bring along a laptop, phone, tablet, or computer to display your app on event day. If you don’t have a device at home, let us know and we can bring one for you to use.
