Lesson 6

Launch day

In this lesson, students will write clear descriptions of their app. They will explain why they have created it and how a user might use it. They will turn this description into a short pitch. Students will then practice and present their pitch, discussing their design choices. Finally, they will propose new features for version 2.0 of their app, using the feedback they have received to refine their project.
