Pet App

In the “Pet App” workshop, participants get an insight into how to program a digital pet that gets hungry and needs to be fed. OctoStudio is used for this purpose, which is an app for mobile devices that allows you to program apps. After a short round of inspiration, participants, together with their mentors, parents, or alone, use the guide provided by us to program a basic pet app and get to know OctoStudio. In the remaining time, participants can then expand their app.

Learning objectives:

• Participants can operate OctoStudio.
• Participants can add characters and backgrounds.
• Participants can change the visibility of a character.
• Participants can use variables.
• Participants can use random numbers.

Participants will need:

• smartphone or tablet
• to install the app “OctoStudio” (available on Google Play or the App Store)
• paper and pens
• Instruction from CoderDojo Schöneweide
