Project

What will our project be about?

The projects consists of designing and developing an app for a mobile device.

You will be creating a 'company' with your group and will have to choose a name, company logo and web page to identify your company.

The app has to be developed out of a NEED detected by your group and it will hopefully be developed to solve this need. You will have to observe, brainstorm, evaluate and finally choose the idea that best suits the interests or worries of your group members. Further on, you will have to do a market study and create a prototype in which you will evaluate future clients that are already using similar-type apps in order to guarantee the success of your app.

Once your app design has been designed, you will create it with the tool 'App Inventor', a free software programme developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The fundamental objective is to present your idea to the public, which means you will also be asked to create a presentation video, sales strategy for your app and possible business models, all of which you will have to defend in front of your classmates.

Your teacher will help you throughout all of the project stages but in addition, there is also a team of experts that work at diverse technological companies and will be your mentors. These experts will help to guide you along the app development process, from both a technical and business point of view.

In summary, the objective of this project is to bring to reality your ideas, designs, creations and proposals. We are sure that you will find it an interesting challenge because in reality, we are trying to bring the real world to your world - 'the school'!

Get on board!  Good luck with your app!!
