AMC Mobile App Academy

On January 27 the American Center in Moscow launched AMC Mobile App Academy – a course of weekly lectures and practical seminars where participants learn how to develop mobile apps for iOS devices, how to conduct pre-project planning and analysis, identify a target audience, design future applications and launch apps in the Appstore.

Mobile App Academy was aimed to teach participants to:

Learn: develop mobile apps and
Produce: come up with a real app either the ecological app for a social benefit or the educational app for AMC.

The ideas of ecological and educational applications to be developed during the Academy came from the applications to the AMC Best Mobile Apps Challenge held in October 2019.

During the first class, Academy participants were divided into two groups: those who were planning to work on an educational app for AMC and others who were going to develop an ecological app.

11 participants successfully completed the course and developed the educational application for AMC ready to be launched at the Appstore and used for AMC purposes, as well designed a mockup of the ecological application.
Among the most useful aspects of the course participants highlighted great introduction to the fundamental programming concepts and to the various useful resources and programs for coding and app development. The participants also enjoyed that the course was very practical and provided hands-on experience.

Feedback from the participants:

«I would like to express my gratitude to the authors of the course: Sergey and Andrey!
