The Low-Code Mobile Application Development (LCAD) program is a microcredential offered by the School of Computing & Academic Studies at BCIT. Through this 12-week online program, high school girls in the Technovation GirlsBC competition engaged in the design thinking process to identify real-world problems, ideate creative solutions, and build mobile applications using low-code development tools. This workshop will showcase how we introduce design and coding concepts to students through building a mobile app with the drag-and-drop app builder, Thunkable. We will also discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing low-code app development tools in classroom activities. Join us and leave with resources that you can try with your own students!
Note: A desktop computer or laptop is required for hands-on participation.
