Introduction

Log in to Code.org using the Classroom code and secret words given, or use your own account.

Scroll down to Projects, and click App Lab to create a new app.



Create your app's homepage

This video recaps how to add text and buttons to your app, and program the button to change.

Have a go at making the home page of your own app!



Challenge: get the button to change back and forth whenever it is clicked!
Hint: Look in the Control and Math menus.


Create a second page

This video recaps how to add a second screen and use an image to move to it.

Have a go at adding this into your own app, and also a button or image to switch back to the home page!



To add your own images, see the instructions here.


Set up your survey

Use the design tab to set up your survey - we will code it afterwards.

Use the inputs such as Slider, Dropdown Menu, Text Input, to let your users give you some information.

Add a 'Submit' button as well so they can let you know when they have finished.


Save the submitted surveys


Edit the text code
