A simple workout app with AppInventor
Students will develop a simple workout app. The app should be able to do the following: First, a simple random number is to be output. This should be between 1 and 20.Then create a list of workout activities (e.g. jumps, push-ups, mini sprints, …).At the push of a button, it should appear how often youContinueContinue reading “A simple workout app with AppInventor”
Machine Learning with App Inventor
Main Idea The scenario aims at introducing Artificial Intelligence, in particular Machine Learning. The scenario uses a free tool to train a machine, for example to recognize words to switch a light on and off. The classification algorithm is then used as an extension in App Inventor.
