This is a hands-on workshop for developing Android Apps for collecting geographic information and storing it on Google Fusion tables. No programming experience is required. App Inventor lets non programmers develop apps using block programming with an intuitive visual interface. App Inventor gives you access to the sensors on your phone, including the GPS, compass, and accelerometer. This will be the same workshop offered twice. You only need to register for one workshop.

Prerequisites: Participants need a Google account, an Android phone, and a laptop computer and must install App Inventor software on their computer (instructions will be sent prior to the workshop).
