Über den Kurs
Mobile App Development and UX Design is an interactive course tailored for students aged 15-17, focusing on the fundamentals of app development and user experience (UX) design. Through hands-on projects and creative activities, students will learn to design and develop user-friendly mobile applications from concept to prototype.
Themen, die erforscht werden sollen
App Development Fundamentals: This section covers the basics of mobile app development, including programming languages, development environments, and app architecture. Students will learn to create interactive and responsive mobile applications using industry-standard tools and platforms.
User Experience (UX) Design Principles: Students will explore the principles of user-centered design and UX best practices. They will learn to understand user needs, create intuitive user interfaces, and optimize user interactions to enhance the overall user experience of mobile applications.
Prototyping and Testing: This component focuses on prototyping techniques and usability testing methods. Students will learn to create wireframes and interactive prototypes to visualize app concepts and gather feedback from users. They will also conduct usability tests to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of their designs.
App Showcase: Design and Present Your Own Mobile App Concept: In this final section, students will apply their knowledge and skills to design and present their own mobile app concept. They will work in teams to conceptualize, design, and prototype a mobile application based on a chosen theme or problem domain. At the end of the course, students will showcase their app concepts and present their design process to their peers.
