Today’s goals:

• Create the “Hello Purr” app with MIT’s App Inventor
• Follow an App Inventor tutorial of your choice OR create an app prototype

 Today’s featured app:

• Not Hotdog– Yes, this is a real app

  MIT’s App Inventor

• You will follow the basic Hello Purr tutorial in which you make an Android app that has a photo of a cat that, when tapped, makes a meow sound.
  1. Go here and click create apps at the top right
  2. Sign in with your Google account
  3. Follow this tutorial
  4. When you finish, test your app on my old Android phone
  5. Change up the app by adding a new image and a new sound (you can find tons of free sound files here)
  6. If you already did Hello Purr and modified it, you will pick a tutorial from this list to create another app.  You can work on your own or with a partner.  When you’re done, check out how your app works on the Android phone.
  7. Other option: design an app prototype. Go to fluidui.com and sign up for a free account. Then create a mobile wireframe of either an app you like (re-create it) or an app concept of your own.
