  MIT App Inventor is a drag-and-drop visual programming tool for designing and
building fully functional mobile apps for Android. App Inventor promotes a new
era of personal mobile computing in which people are empowered to design,
create, and use personally meaningful mobile technology solutions for their
daily lives, in endlessly unique situations. App Inventor's intuitive
programming metaphor and incremental development capabilities allow the
developer to focus on the logic for programming an app rather than the syntax
of the coding language, fostering digital literacy for all. Since it was moved
from Google to MIT, a number of improvements have been added, and research
projects are underway.
