What is MAD-learn?
MAD-learn stands for Mobile App Development for Every Classroom. This web-based tool empowers teachers—not just technology teachers—to engage students in app development, from a book review app in English class to a drawing app in Art class. Using the design-thinking process, MAD-learn prepares today’s students for tomorrow’s careers. Students use this powerful tool to easily build mobile apps to serve their community, solve problems, build entrepreneurship skills, and share ideas with the world. Coding skills are optional to use MAD-learn. Best of all, students get to build a working app, complete with their own visual design and content that is ready to be viewed on their iOS or Android devices. The MAD-store mobile app, which is MAD-learn’s version of the App Store, allows the world to view student-made mobile apps. Download it now to see and use apps that students around the world have made.
