App Development: A Creative Frontier For The New-Age Kids App Development refers to the process of creating a set of programs that perform a particular task. Apps can be of a wide variety, such as- games, social media, business assistants, and many more. You can use programming languages like Python or JavaScript to program an app. Building apps is a very potent and growing market at the moment. Given the ever-increasing degree of digitization that is happening to the world, this upward momentum for app development is here to stay. Mobile apps are expected to generate a revenue of approximately $935 billion by 2023.

Even though one might think of app development as an “advanced skill” exclusively for adults, that is actually not the case. With the advent of coding classes for kids, the younger generations are actually more and more well equipped to come up with some awesome apps. Take Gitanjali Rao for instance, the Time Kid of the Year. Gitanjali, at only 15 created an app named ‘Kindly’ that uses artificial intelligence to detect cyberbullying at an early stage. And, it’s important to understand than Gitanjali, even though exceptional in her vision and achievements, is not an anomaly. With the right tech education, millions of other kids can create awesome, world-changing applications. As Gitanjali herself says- “If I can do it, anyone can do it!”


There are also many benefits for kids in learning to build apps. One, it offers a creative outlet for bringing ideas to life. In a way, making apps is like any other art form, where you conceptualize an idea, and through a process you bring that idea to outer existence, where it can be shared with others. Second, the process of making apps (which happens through programming) also helps exercise- logical thinking, problem-solving and computational skills. Thirdly, app development by definition enhances the tech literacy of the developer. With technology becoming a more and more pervasive part of human living, tech knowledge is essential for future sustenance. Therefore, app development helps to make kids future-ready. And, last but not the least, app development turns kids into confident superachievers. The act of building something from inception to realization is a great confidence-booster as the child learns to develop faith in their own abilities and gets the practice for overcoming hurdles and succeeding – If you can learn it, you can churn it. BeSingular is an international tech learning platform that offers online iOS app development classes for kids. Apart from the teacher-led training classes, students also get a chance to work on real-life projects, which helps them to crystallize their learning. These projects are based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and give the students the chance to create solutions that can solve global challenges. For example, the students could design an app that uses Artificial Intelligence to detect crop diseases for farmers, or they could build a gaming app where you can “fight� corona, as well as receive tips on how to do the same in real life. Apart from app development, BeSingular also provides courses in other exponential technologies, including- Programming, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Game Design, Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, Robotics, and Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR).
