Microsoft Giving

Stalwart Teen-Turn volunteer Yuri enlisted his team to contribute to app development learning assistance for his Microsoft Giving campaign in October 2024 at the Ireland HQ.

Hi there Teen-Turn! 

We got a great turnaround in our Microsoft FD&E GIVE event last week, 
and got several code examples to share! The features are all listed 
below, and this might help teens working on Technovation. We were able 
to cover App Inventor in most of the features!

Here is a pic of the great team that worked on them. From left to right: 
Radek, Stephen, Yuri, Beril, Gregory(back) and Dhruv. 

Once again, thanks for everyone that joined and created the examples!

We provided an example using image placement on the screen.

Component placement on Screen:

We provided a couple of examples using components (such as texts, colors, etc) on the screen.

We also created examples of login using hardcoded credentials (i.e. To work, they should match a pre defined text) and credentials coming from a database:
