Design, Development, and Empowerment: My Experiences of Coaching a Best-in-Na...Yu-Chang Hsu
During the presentation, I will share how I supported a national-winning team of middle
school students to develop their STEM-related mobile app through on-site training and
other virtual scaffolding mechanism. I will discuss the tips, challenges, and lessons
learned based on my reflection as a computing educator. This presentation should provide
practical information that can be applied to other contexts of computing education as it
involves various aspects that are commonly relevant, such as project management,
communication, and technical consideration during app development. I hope my sharing
of the rewarding experiences with the community can help encourage more quality
educators and App Inventor enthusiasts to consider applying to join App Inventor
Training Corp. (AITC), and serve the common goals of contributing to computing
education through this venue. (Learn more about: 2014 Verizon Innovative App
