iPhone Mobile App Development for Teenagers (13-17 years)

Approach

All of our programming courses are taught with a hands-on approach, using a range of practical exercises to teach and enthuse our students. We teach students to develop apps from scratch, providing them with the knowledge and experiences to build upon afterwards.

In this 5 day course students will be introduced to the concept of programming and create an interactive iOS app.

Students are encouraged to bring their own media files to use in their project.
