Abstract
Learning a new programming language becomes a very important requirement for individuals who would like to be part of the Engineering and Technology fields especially with the rapid changes that we encounter nowadays. For the last three decades, MATLAB has been known for its reliability in research and engineering education. It is a dynamic language that has a very rich libraries. It is considered a user-friendly and well-structured program with many features such as app design. However, for new learners, precisely high school students, it might be difficult to engage them through the session, given the fact that it has been conducted virtually and the nature of the course which is different from the traditional high school courses. Thus, this paper will summarize the experience of a three-week program that was designed for high school students to teach them MATLAB and App design by applying image processing basics.
