3-Day Build Cool Mobile Apps with Thunkable
How is a mobile app created, and is it any fun? In this 3 half-day camp, we hope to show your child that creating mobile apps can be an outlet for creative expression and a tool for picking up coding. Using Thunkable, students will learn to use a platform that professionals use but also is a great learning tool. Throughout the camp, they will be exposed to design thinking knowledge (User Interface/User Experience) and build cool mobile apps through a simplified drag-and-drop app creation process.

Our Pedagogy
We spend hours intentionally building these life skills in our students so that not a minute is wasted.
FAQ
Our holiday camps are suitable for beginners who have no prior knowledge or experience in technology-related courses. Even if your child has had prior knowledge or experience, he or she will still find our holiday camps refreshing due to the sheer variety of platforms we cover and the thematic approach we employ which makes every camp different and new.
No lunch will be provided as this is not a full day camp. However, short breaks will be given in between the camp where your child can consume snacks and drinks.
He was intrigued by how technology could influence a robot and kept raving about the fun he had at this class.
