App Inventor for Android (AIA) is a visual programming environment freely available from MIT's Center for Mobile Learning that enables students with no previous programming background to build apps for Android mobile devices. Empowering students to create their own mobile apps engages them personally and can infuse much-needed energy and excitement into computer science education.
