App Creation Lab – Build Your Own App
The App Creation Lab introduces participants to the fundamentals of coding logic, design thinking, and ethical technology use. Each student will develop their own individual app concept, working from idea to execution with mentorship from engineers, designers, and youth educators. Using tools like FlutterFlow, MIT App Inventor, or Replit’s mobile frameworks, participants will:
-
Identify a real-world problem or passion project
-
Design the user interface and layout
-
Build and test their own working app Examples may include:
-
A basketball stat-tracking app personalized to their team
-
A teen-focused budgeting and allowance manager
-
A local community volunteer tracker or peer mental health support tool
This program is about more than just coding—it’s about ownership of innovation, giving participants the confidence and skills to build solutions for their lives and neighborhoods.
Together, these three pillars—Chess, Drones, and App Creation—form the strategic, exploratory, and innovative foundation of STEM Avenue. It is a bold step toward making the Rebelz Program not only a hub for elite athletes, but a launchpad for tomorrow’s thinkers, creators, and community builders.
