How Can Creating A Science Based App - 3504 Words

Section A: Investigation My focus question is: How can creating a science-based app have an educational impact to children, that were never exposed to this material in depth and do they show signs of improvement after testing the app? As I recall from personal experience, children do not learn in depth about diseases in the school curriculum. Technology is being implemented into school systems for educational purposes; therefore, I wanted to test if using technology, in this case apps, helps a student learn? By including learning styles, I can accurately test if the children are able to retain information and learn from the app. The goal of my Personal Project is to create app that addresses the contents of Cancer, Diabetes, and Heart†¦show more content†¦My personal inspiration and influence for this project comes from my interests in the medical field, and STEM. Even as a child, I loved hands-on activities and STEM and the field of medicine really appealed to me because of those activities. Also, I always had a passion for information technology and I’ve always wanted to learn coding because it is the basis for websites, or apps and any mobile technologies found that we use majorly today. Personally, my influence was from an article about a twelve year old boy that constructed an app for his mom, and it inspired me to take challenges and be a risk-taker while try something new. My inspiration also comes from campaigns associated with Girl’s involvement coding because girls only make up 3% of jobs in coding, and this inspired me to take the challenge and be one of those girls that do coding. My personal interests relates to my goal because of my enthusiasm to explore coding, and to include information from the science field because of my interest in various types of science, as well as explore deeper into the different learning styles of children. Prior to my project, I knew an adequate amount of research for my project. I did not know c oding at all for my project, but I knew where to starting learning about these coding languages and how to get started. I knew some of the information/content that was going into my project like Diabetes’s background, Cancer’s background, and Heart Disease’s
