Coding Projects Coming Alive

Help me give my students a way to play each others games that they programed in a way that would be more like they would play on their phones. Currently they are only on the computers.

My Project

My students are currently making apps in class using the computers and some are able to test the code on the front teacher screen but it is not what they like to play and used to playing on.

With just two Ipads for the students will give them the able to test apps and games that they are making on a device that they play professional made games on.

Students can then share their apps with each other quickly and give feedback. They will also be motivated to finish so they can share what they make with others.

I see all the students being a mixed team class. Each student is given the opportunity to learn computer science in my district.
