Last week students from Kumu Sone\u2019s IT Academy Foundations course participated in a two day App Development Workshop.\u00a0 Students learned how to use the Mac program Xcode to create their own apps.\u00a0 Aside from gaining basic skills in programing, students were able to showcase their creative side as they developed their own, simple practice apps to test what they learned.\u00a0 Kumu Sone shared, \u201cGiving the students exposure to the new wave of mobile technology through the app building workshop was an amazing experience. I wanted to include this topic in my curriculum but I just didn\u2019t know where to begin, now I can take off where this workshop ended and continue the learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
What did the students think?<\/p>\n
\u201cLearning to build apps was awesome, there really is no limit as to what we can do with this, this is my future!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know anything about code, but now I can actually read and write code.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got so much out of the workshop and I liked how we were able to be creative in making our own apps.\u201d<\/p>\n
The App Development Workshop, which was sponsored by KS ITD\u2019s Emerging Tech group, featured Honolulu Community College instructor Ms. Monir as the presenter.\u00a0 This was the second workshop offered by KS ITD, this spring.\u00a0 The first one took place on the Kamehameha Schools Hawai\u2019i campus.\u00a0 The third and final workshop this spring will take place at the Kap\u0101lama campus in March.<\/p>\n
