Dave, I’ve done this a lot over the years, and you’re right, settling on a compelling app to create during the workshop is key. These are some of the ideas I’ve used: - A drag and drop matching game. - A to-do list app. - A simple e-reader app. - A walking tour app with a map with interactive sites that you can click for additional information and photos, etc. Hope this helps.
