To create an app using MIT App Inventor, first set up your project by clicking and dragging the necessary components into the work area (the box in the center that looks like what an app). Once you have your project set up, click on the "User Interface" tab on the left.

MIT App Inventor 2 offers several advantages for creating educational apps: Visual Programming: No complex coding is required. You drag and drop blocks to create the app’s functionality. Beginner-Friendly Interface: Easy to learn and use, even for complete beginners. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Your apps will work on both Android and iOS devices.

Generally, if you want to develop an app, you need to learn the intricacies of a traditional text-based coding language. However, when it comes to MIT App Inventor, they have already addressed this barrier to app development. They have simplified the programming process as much as they can to let aspiring programmers focus on the app’s goals.

App Inventor can be used in your school. Please read this document and pass it to your school's IT Department to let them know the hardware and network requirements to make App Inventor work successfully in your school. App Inventor lets you develop applications for Android phones using a web browser and either a connected mobile device or an on-screen emulator.
