Let's Build an App! (Episode 02)

Показать описание

This is the second of our weekly podcast / livestream titled "Let's Build An App"!

We will build a simple iOS game and you can follow along and ask questions about the game design, the code, and anything else that might come up. We'll be using the Swift programming language and Xcode, and you'll be able to beta test the weekly code drops on your own iOS device. We'll also give you access to the source code.

Join us weekly, every Thursday at 7 PM (PDT) starting July 8, 2021. See you soon!

Game of Apps is a program that guides high school students through the whole process of building apps from beginning to end. Local professional designers and developers mentor the students weekly and teach them how to use the same tools, techniques and processes employed in the industry while the students learn to build mobile apps.

GoA MISSION

Preparing Youth for 21st Century Careers

We are a non-profit society that helps prepare today’s youth for future careers (in technology or otherwise) by teaching them how to think critically, build empathy, and navigate complex and ambiguous problems to create value. We guide them as they put these skills into practice through building technology products, leveraging industry standard tools, and giving them valuable insights into future career options.

Core Principles

* We actively seek youth that may not be drawn naturally to technology, dispel commonly held misconceptions, and show them that a future career in technology may be a viable option.

* We assemble teams of professionals (working in local technology companies) who give back to this next generation by teaching, mentoring and sharing their experiences.

* We partner with educators and community leaders to bridge the gap in today’s technology education.
