With help
from Mario Witdoek, ex-lead coach CoderDojo Roeselare.
In Roeselare, a group
of youngsters called ‘de bende van Toeroet’ (the gang of Torhout) enjoys coding
at CoderDojo. Simon, Thomas, Willem, Lucas and Roel (aged 11-14) have been
attending CoderDojo for some years now. They started coding at CoderDojo
Roeselare and doubled their fun when a CoderDojo opened up in Torhout and they
started attending sessions there as well. They know everything there is to know
about Scratch so Roeselare lead coach Mario introduced them to App Inventor.
App Inventor is a block based coding environment developed by MIT that allows
you to build your own apps. Thanks to the efforts of some CoderDojo coaches,
App Inventor was translated to Dutch.
But ‘de
bende’ wanted to push things a little further. So Mario gave them a challenge:
if they managed to create a fully operational app combining all of their work, he
vouched to get their app published on the Google Play store. The possibility of
reaching everyone on this planet with their app appealed to these youngsters
and they started working on their project.
It wasn’t
long before they bumped into their first complications. App Inventor didn’t
support the merging of different apps risking to send them back to the drawing
tables. But de bende pursued and came up with a third party solution enabling
them to merge their projects. After a year of hard work they finished their first app: Multi App!

Mario kept
his word and through CoderDojo Belgium HQ, he got access to a Google developer
account. With this account, it is rather easy to publish an app on the Google
Play Store. Just make yourself an app logo, take some print screens and fill in
some information (stating you’re not a terrorist and all). Some bot checks your
app for any irregularities and POOF: your App is online.
Like a real band of developers, the Toeroet gang started noticing some bugs after the first release of their app. So they created an update: Multi App v2, stronger & better. Look for it on the Play store, you will find it!

Encouraged
by their success, the gang decided they will donate any gainings to a charity.
What a Christmas spirit!
Do you have
a team of real App Inventor wizards at your Dojo? Do they want to share their
App with the world? Contact info@coderdojobelgium.be and
we will work something out together.

Wow, it’s amazing to see CoderDojo Roeselare empowering young minds to develop their own apps! This is such a great initiative to encourage creativity, problem-solving, and coding skills from an early age. By giving kids the tools and guidance to build their own projects, they’re not only learning valuable technical skills but also gaining confidence and a sense of accomplishment. The potential for these young coders to create innovative solutions is huge, and it’s exciting to see how their ideas will shape the future. Keep up the fantastic work, CoderDojo Roeselare! divorce attorney in fairfax
