PROGRAMMING
WITH MOBILE APP
& ALEXA
Mobile App is a complete application that involves taking input data, building purpose specific
logic, storing retrieving and processing data, and presenting desired output. The coder needs to
do all of this and also provide a delightful user experience to every user of its app.
The world of conversational AI add another dimension to the apps. The user interacts with the
App using voice and expects voice output. Conversational AI has been a huge advancement in
the way we interact with computers. With conversational AI, voice-enabled devices like Amazon
Echo are finally starting to enable the sort of magical interactions we’ve dreamed of for decades.
Through a voice user interface (VUI), voice services like Alexa can communicate with people in
ways that feel effortless, solve problems, and get smarter over time.
KIDS will learn to program a Mobile App & build ALEXA SKILLS using block based programming
that they learned in the first module of programming fundamentals and in the process will
experience programing for voice.
