App Inventor was founded in 2007 by educators and researchers at MIT and Google with the vision of enabling anyone—including those who may not think of themselves as coders—to create mobile apps for real, effective change in their communities. The App Inventor Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established by the same team, and expands upon the educational initiatives of the MIT App Inventor project by offering additional resources for teachers and students across the globe. Our mission is to empower students of any background and any age to make apps that improve their lives, uplift their communities, and change the world.
