Physical Computing with MIT App Inventor

MIT App Inventor is a blocks program language that makes it easy to create apps for Android phones and tablets. In this hands-on workshop you'll learn how to connect App Inventor to the physical world for remote control or data collection. Control a robotic dog, monitor an house plant, or collect data for a science experiment -- all these become easy.

Previous experience with a blocks language like Scratch is helpful but not required. This workshop is aimed at teens and adults; younger children are welcome to work with a parent.

To participate, you will need both a laptop computer and an Android phone or tablet.
