Description

MAD-learn is a web-based curriculum platform used for teaching K-12 students mobile application development through a design thinking framework, without requiring coding knowledge.

The platform provides a structured curriculum that guides pupils through the process of designing and building mobile applications using a no-code, web-based interface. Lessons are organised around the design thinking methodology, covering stages such as empathising with users, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing.

The curriculum is aimed at fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and entrepreneurial thinking, and is positioned within project-based and problem-based learning approaches aligned with STEM and STEAM education. MAD-learn includes teacher resources, scaffolded activities, and tools intended for classroom delivery, alongside a companion platform called MAD-store where student-created applications can be published.

Additional features include a free trial option, internship programmes for students, and a blog with supporting content. The service is typically used by primary and secondary schools seeking to integrate 21st century skills, digital literacy, and app development into their curriculum offering.
