We inspire girls to become creators and innovators. Girls create mobile apps to solve problems in their communities.

This online 12-week curriculum can be completed by team of 4-5 middle or high school girls (guided by a mentor or teacher) to develop mobile phone applications, “apps”. Teams everywhere in the world submit their app, video pitch, and business plan to an online panel for judging by April 13, 2013. Regional winners travel to the San Francisco Bay Area and compete at the Technovation World Pitch event ~May 1st for US $10,000 to develop their app for the mobile market.

    posted message: Hi, I am the mentor for a team of 5 from Homestead High. I was not able to install the app inventor. When I try to open the dmg file - it does not open. I am using Mac 10.7.4 I have the correct version of java running which is java 7. Thanks, Mita

    Mita,

    Not sure if you saw this, it's a Mac specific installation guide.

    Mita,

    I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with App Inventor. Can you post this problem to our App Inventor Help Forum page? That might be of help to someone who is having the same problem.

    Shannon, thanks for your help troubleshooting!

    Mita, that's the system I'm using at home and I've been able to use App Inventor. What kind of error message are you getting? If you aren't getting one and it's just a fail, try rebooting and simply going through the launch again. It might actually be in the process of installing so check to see if you actually have an app inventor folder populated on your system. App inventor has a cloud and client elements and the client elements are Java as you know so both mean latency and awhile to boot.
