Learn How To Create Android games For Beginners

Here is my flier for the session

I will be teaching middle school kids coding, by developing android apps and publishing them to the Google playstore. I will hold a coding program for 4 days teaching kids how to make apps using block programing. This plan is needed because only of schools teach coding and coding is becoming the most in-demand skill across industries. Most kids like to play games on their phones or computers.

This project can give kids a chance to learn coding by developing android games. It addresses needs in the community by giving kids an opportunity to work in field of STEM and help them while choosing their future career. Since many of our future jobs include programing this will give them a chance to understand and start coding.

I enjoy coding and have learnt JavaScript and block programming. I have developed my website, and now want to teach coding skills to other children.

This will help kids in choosing their future career when this program is successful. This activity will take place in the Igo library. The school children will benefit from this project. We require 50$ for 2 android phones (25$ each).
