After working with several programs in class, it was time to build something on our own. We were going to make an app. With MIT, you can easily create your own app. What is MIT app inventor? App Inventor lets you develop applications for Android phones using a web browser and either a connected phone or emulator. The App Inventor servers store your work and help you keep track of your projects. You build apps by working with: The  App Inventor Designer , where you select the components for your app. The  App Inventor Blocks Editor , where you assemble program blocks that specify how the components should behave. You assemble programs visually, fitting pieces together like pieces of a puzzle. Your app appears on the phone step-by-step as you add pieces to it, so you can test your work as you build. When you're done, you can package your app and produce a stand-alone application to install. If you don't have an Android phone, you can build your apps using the...

What did we do? For this class, we had to create a ping pong game just by using tutorials form youtube. We used MIT app inventor 2 for making the game. Thereby we got a link to the tutorials on youtube which allowed us to help making the game.  It was not that hard to create the game because the tutorials were very clear. The guy who made the tutorials explained everything very well which made everything easier.  Below you can see the ping pong game I made during class. What is MIT app inventor?

The urge to travel is getting higher and higher among the young twenties: not only do they travel more and more, they also choose to complete their studies abroad. But from where this big interest to the unknown? What impact do these experiences have on our personal development and above all; are there any disadvantages to that exploration? In addition to the pleasure trips, more and more young people choose to follow an internship or training abroad at one or another time in their student career. A trend that is welcomed by our open and freely obsessed society, but what are the pros and cons of these studies or internships abroad? First of all, Erasmus students can get to know other cultures. A human has always been a curious creature and because of the fact we can travel around the world more easily, we can let that natural exploration run more and more free. For example, we can visit other cities like Sintra, Coimbra, Evora. We can explore the history of each city and learn mor...
