Learn how to code mobile apps in small, live group sessions. Every year, many billions of apps are downloaded to mobile phones. However, building high quality mobile apps has been beyond reach to younger coders. But not any more!
Throughout this course, students will learn how to create fun apps and games for mobile devices. It is also a great way deepen your child's computational thinking skills and learn how to apply key coding concepts in different scenarios.
The class uses Thunkable, a block based programming platform for professionals. It is easy to use, yet very powerful, and is used by many to develop commercial applications. Some key things student will learn about mobile programming are:
Design layout and UI of mobile applications
Enable various UI elements for display information, data inputs, and event handling
Use different mobile features such as device sensors, touch screen, gyroscope, camera, and more
Build projects and fun games that involve image recognition, popular use cases, and fun activities.Â
Create complex applications that involve networking and multi-user apps!
Learn advanced cloud computing concepts such as cloud variables, cloud storage of image data, Airtable, Firebase, and authentication.
After taking this class, you child will be comfortable with building a wide range of mobile games and apps, and can apply them to various school projects, science challenges and competitions, and even build a simple app for a real business. A great competition to participate after this class is the Congressional App Challenge held by US Congress every year.
Students should have taken Scratch Ninja or Accelerated Scratch class, before taking this class. The class is also suitable for students who have take Python and/or Javascript classes, because of the Mobile programming and Cloud Computing elements.
Build your very first mobile app in this fun-filled introduction class and open up a brand new world of possibilities for your child in learning computer science. Students will start learning how to design the layout of mobile apps and code the active components to build a riddle game with live instruction. This class will also give your child a sense of what it is like to go deeper in developing mobile apps. Sign up for this trial class with an average of 5 students per class!

Mobile Coding for Apps and Games is a live, online course where students in Grades 5–10 learn to build powerful mobile apps and games using Thunkable, a professional block-based platform. Throughout the series, children design app layouts and user interfaces, implement UI elements for displaying information and handling inputs, and integrate device features such as sensors, touch screens, gyroscopes, and cameras. They also create projects involving image recognition, networking, and multi-user functionality, and explore advanced cloud computing concepts—such as cloud variables, image data storage, Airtable, Firebase, and authentication.
Students work on hands-on projects that demonstrate real-world mobile programming concepts. They start by designing app layouts and UI elements, then progress to integrating device sensors (e.g., gyroscope, camera) and event handling for touch inputs. Learners build fun games with image recognition features, develop networking and multi-user apps, and implement cloud computing tasks such as storing images in Firebase or Airtable, using cloud variables, and setting up authentication. By course end, they have a portfolio of functional mobile apps and games ready for school projects or competitions.
By using Thunkable's professional block-coding platform, students see how mobile apps rely on logical structures—such as event triggers, loops, and conditional statements—to respond to user inputs and sensor data. When they implement cloud storage or authentication, learners understand how scalable backend systems work, and when they build networking features, they gain insight into client-server interactions. These hands-on experiences reinforce computational thinking and prepare students for text-based programming and real-world software development.
Mobile Coding for Apps and Games builds on foundational block-coding knowledge acquired in Scratch Ninja or Accelerated Scratch. After completing this course, students are prepared to advance to more specialized programming offerings—such as Java for Apps or Python for AI and Data Science—where they can leverage their mobile development experience and cloud computing skills to create text-based applications and data-driven projects.
