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
Um, wow.
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!
