Lately, I’ve spent time with my Dad learning how to use software to make iPad and iPhone apps. I’m learning a lot. So, when it was time to decide a science fair topic, why not do this?
First, I decided I’d make a display of an iPad for my board. I made that out of black poster board and tin foil. Then I researched. My Dad gave me some topics to look up on the internet.
I thought that making an iPad app would be a hard thing to do. But I found out some interesting things:
- Corona SDK based apps have been downloaded 4 million times in the last 9 months.
- There is a tutorial you can follow to make an iPad app (make a game in 8 minutes!)
- X code was made by Apple and Corona SDK was made by Ansca Mobile.
I received a third place ribbon in my age group for my science project.
In the art show part of our homeschool group’s event, I received a 2nd place ribbon for my pencil drawing of a birthday cake.
I also received a 3rd place ribbon for a chalk pastel of a glass of Coca Cola.

Dear Oldest Boy (and you know who you are)
You are the smartest, kindest and sweetest….plus, you are a great artist and you can make me an app anytime…but then you would have to explain it to me….
Forever,
Nana

My 10 yr old is working on this – the information here will be perfect for him! Thank you- I cannot help but to laugh because of the comment from your Nana – it could totally have been written (word for word) by My own mother – whom the kids call Nana! 🙂
Congrats on your ribbons- good work!
