摘要：
Middle school students often avoid programming endeavors, thinking they are boring and non-productive. We have been successful engaging and maintaining interest in programming through the use of App Inventor 2 and a curriculum of our design. This paper details the features in App Inventor 2's visual programming environment that we believe are significant contributors for engaging students and facilitating their understanding of abstract concepts.
