Meet the group, break the ice, and start exploring creative ideas for apps and digital tools. We’ll brainstorm cool concepts and map out what you’d love to build.

Learn how to turn your idea into a real design! You’ll sketch screens, build user flows, and discover how designers make apps easy (and fun) to use.

3

Time to create! You’ll use beginner-friendly, drag-and-drop tools to start building your app — no coding needed, just creativity and focus.

4

Explore how apps think! You’ll learn how to add logic, buttons, and simple rules that make your app interactive and smart.

5

Find bugs, fix problems, and test your work with others. This session is all about improving what you’ve made and making it shine.
