Welcome! We are glad you are here! This page archives the accomplishments of Youth APPLab – the 1st program in the United States to teach teenagers how to design and program mobile apps. It ran from 2010-2015, expanded to XO APPLab where students created apps for MIT’s One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), and to the DC Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) in 2013.
Read the 61+ pages of blog entries to review the history of the program from the day the project was announced, each day of class, and as time progressed until a sister spawned project called XO Applab!
