K-12 students interested in collaborating with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor should participate through our global community at . We do not have opportunities for K-12 students to join the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ project as interns.
Our team has research opportunities for undergraduates at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ, Harvard and Wellesley College through ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ’s . Unfortunately, we’re not currently able to consider applicants from outside of these three institutions. Please contact appinventor-urop@mit.edu for more information and be mindful of the application deadlines at this . Please review the following for guidelines on our expectations for new team members.
Enrolled ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ graduate students interested in working with the investigators on the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor should contact Prof. Hal Abelson (hal@mit.edu). Other prospective students need to be admitted to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ before joining App Inventor and should apply through the department appropriate to their discipline.
Individuals external to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ are welcome to contribute to App Inventor development via our open source repository on . Organizations interested in collaborating on ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor in another capacity, please see Collaborating with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor. You may also participate in our global community at .

Any student can do research in conjunction with development or education. If you are external to the above institutions and would like to conduct research with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor, please read more about potential research collaborations and our affiliates program here.
There are many ways your generous gift to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ can broaden the impact of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor throughout the world. We empower not only young people all over the world with skills for computational action through building mobile apps, we also help middle-skilled workers adapt to an increasingly digital world to fortify their career mobility and open opportunities to training paths that can lead to better jobs. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ App Inventor will always be free, but further development of our platform, the inclusion of artificial intelligence and robotics capabilities, as well as the creation of updated teaching tools and curricula requires lots of resources. We’re always grateful for all the support you can offer!
Please to make your gift.
