How to create Android App with MIT App Inventor

How to create Android App by using MIT App   Inventor

What is MIT App Inventor?

MIT App Inventor is an intuitive, visual programming environment that allows everyone – even children – to build fully functional apps for Android phones, iPhones, and Android/iOS tablets. 

MIT App Inventor provides a block-based coding environment to develop an app within 30 minutes.

Blocks-based coding programs inspire intellectual and creative empowerment.

Even small kids can easily understand the app development method in an interactive way.

A small team of MIT CSAIL staff and students, led by Professor Hal Abelson, forms the nucleus of an international movement of inventors.

 In addition to leading educational outreach around MIT App Inventor and conducting research on its impacts, this core team maintains the free online app development environment that serves more than 6 million registered users.
