App Inventor for Socio-scientific Issues to Build Engagement in STEM

This project supported middle school students as they developed their own app to address or raise awareness about locally-relevant socioscientific issues of their choosing. Over the course of this program, students learned to use the App Inventor programming language before utilizing an iterative process to design, adapt, and revise student-generated apps to challenge the issues that students found most personally relevant.

App Inventor for Socioscientific Issues to Build Engagement in STEM was funded by the University Research Fund and the Milken Foundation from 2016 to 2017.
