During Arts and Technology Week this year students had the opportunity during a lunchtime to build a mobile phone app. Students used the no-code mobile app builder, Glide, to develop a mobile application on their laptops and then installed the working application onto their phones, which they were allowed to bring with them to the session.

Students developed a mobile app that helps them with their language studies. The app provides Italian and Japanese words and shows the English translation. The app includes images and Japanese hiragana characters. Students can add new words to their vocabulary lists that they are learning in class.

Students had a fun time and were surprised they could build a mobile app so quickly and have it running on their phones by the end of lunchtime.
