Introduction to the Course and Prior Knowledge

What would you think about creating a mobile App that is useful for people? Would you be able to come up with a new idea? Could you work on it in a group?

We suggest giving it a try and being able answer yes to all these questions. We propose generating your own startup to get the mobile App idea you have in your head up and running. We challenge you to produce an App that is original and interesting and makes life simpler for users.

And all while learning new things and getting to know your classmates. You have a whole year to do it and you won’t be alone. Your teacher will support you along the way, tech industry experts will pitch in to help and, above all, your classmates will swap insights and solutions with you in the Questions Forums available in each topic.

LET’S GET STARTED!

Managing a Common Space: Google Drive

The first step is to create a common space for all the group members where you can save, create and share all types of files. This space will be Google Drive.

To access this space must each create a personal Gmail account that will identify you and let you work together.

Watch the video to find out all the possibilities that Google Drive offers; we will be using them throughout the course.
