P201 - App Inventor 1

Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram have become our everyday essential apps and your child may be the creator of the next B I G thing that you will use in your life. The MIT App Inventor Platform allows students to create fully functional mobile apps.

Get started on MIT App Inventor

The MIT App Inventor platform is a visual programming language that will kickstart your kid’s interest in mobile app development.

Create Your Very Own Mobile App

With the right tools in hand and the right training, your kid is now ready to create an app that he is proud to show off to you.

Learn User Experience/ User Interface Design

Think from the user’s perspective and how they will act and react to different parts of the mobile interface and feedback to you about it.

Give your child a technological edge.

Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram have become our everyday essential apps and your child may be the creator of the next B I G thing that you will use in your life. We nurture future leaders in technology by allowing students to explore the path of mobile app development. The MIT App Inventor Platform allows students to create fully functional mobile apps.

With an intuitive, visual drag-and-drop programming, our App Inventor curriculum guides students to apply computational thinking and creativity to design their own apps and put them to test immediately on their phones. They can build simple fun apps such as Countdown Timer, Racing Game, Robot Shooter Game and more!

App Inventor 1’s goal is to introduce mobile app programming, instill confidence and an adventurous spirit for students to continue exploring to become little app creators. This course is suitable for students aged 10-12 in the current year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What programmes / languages do we teach the kids?

At Coding Lab, we believe coding is the new literacy, and our carefully designed programs cater to children aged 4-18, offering age-appropriate learning pathways.

For ages 5-6, our Junior Coder Program introduces foundational skills through interactive platforms like Scratch Jr and LEGO Robots, emphasizing creativity, problem-solving, and early math concepts. Older children (7-9) progress to Scratch, a graphics-based programming language from MIT that simplifies computational logic. Students aged 10-12 advance to App Inventor, creating functional mobile apps with real-world features like GPS. For teens 13 and up, we teach Python, equipping them with the syntax and skills to explore data science, machine learning, and beyond.

How is the Coding Lab Curriculum different from other schools?

Designed by our Global Industry Experts, Our Award-Winning MIT-inspired curriculum develops computational thinking and creativity of expression in children of all abilities.

With a strong emphasis on inquiry-based learning and the application of key mathematical concepts, we have trained thousands of students globally in Singapore, Australia, and Japan.

We have won numerous awards for Best Coding Curriculum.
– Four-Time Winner, Best Coding Curriculum (Parents’ World Magazine)
– Voted Best Coding Programme (Young Parents’ Magazine)
– Awarded Best Coding Curriculum (Singapore’s Child)
– Awarded School of The Year, Computer Science (Little Magazine)

Is the Coding Lab Curriculum suitable for my child?

Every child is different, and our way of teaching recognizes this. Our tutors are trained to inspire complete newbies to program, to challenging gifted students in their work. Every child can learn to code, and the Coding Lab programme is rigorously designed to fit their different ability levels and learning styles, such that every child can create programs they can be proud of.

What are the qualifications of your teachers?

Coding Lab teachers are often graduates of prestigious institutions, including Tokyo University. Many also bring hands-on industry experience from leading software companies such as Microsoft.

All teachers undergo intensive training in educating students the Coding Lab way, as well as the curriculum before they are assigned to a class.

Do you offer free trials?

Yes! We offer a free trial class where kids can explore the exciting world of coding and robotics at Coding Lab Japan. Trials are available both in-person and online.

During the trial, parents can discuss the school, schedules, and learning roadmaps with our staff. Our experienced teachers will also conduct a level assessment and provide personalized class recommendations for your child.

Why are some of your lessons 2 hours long?

Our lessons are 2 hours long because we believe this is the most effective format for children to truly learn and retain programming skills. Many other schools offer shorter classes, such as 60 or 90 minutes, often held only twice a month. However, with such formats, students tend to forget what they learned between sessions, and it becomes difficult to build skills effectively.

By providing 2-hour lessons once a week, we ensure that students have enough time to review, practice, and deepen their understanding within each session. This approach helps transform their experience from merely “fun” to gaining skills they can use in the future.

When calculated on an hourly basis, our fees are comparable to other schools. Additionally, our lessons are tailored to each child’s individual level, providing personalized support to ensure they can learn at their own pace. We aim to equip children not just with enjoyment but with lasting skills they can carry forward into their future endeavors.
