    But I wonder how these apps are made! Who makes them?

                                                                              People called 'app developers' make mobile apps.
                                                                              They design, test and launch an app. Our teacher

                     Apps are a key part of our daily lives, from games to communication tools. In this chapter, you will
                     explore how they work and how institutions like MIT contribute to creating these essential tools. Let’s
                     dive into the world of app development.

                     APP INVENTOR

                     MIT App Inventor is a user-friendly tool that lets you create mobile apps without complex coding. You
                     can design the app’s layout, choose features and add actions using simple blocks, similar to Scratch
                     programming. It is free, cloud-based and accessible via web browsers like Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

                     The  user  interface  of  MIT  App  Inventor  consists  of  two  main  sections  that  you  will  use  to  create
                     your app:

                     1.  Designer view: This view contains all the components required to design an application.

                     2.  Block editor view: This view is the place where you combine blocks to execute an application.

                     STARTING MIT APP INVENTOR

                     You should have a Gmail account to use the MIT App Inventor.
