This video tutorial accompanies Chapter 2 from Drag and Drop Code with Thunkable. It steps you though the creation of the soundboard app, “I Have a Dream 2022”.
CONCEPTUALIZE
- The green, blue, red, and yellow outline parts of the code. Coding has a grammar, just like natural language. Name the part of code within each color.

- How many event handlers are defined in the “IHaveaADream2022” app?
CUSTOMIZE
- Add a StopAllButton which stops all the sound clips.
- Besides play and stop, there are also functions for resume and pause, and a block to check if a clip is paused. Add Buttons which allow the user to start from the beginning, pause, stop, and resume each clip. For some functionality, you’ll need an if-block, which is in the Control folder (and which you’ll learn about in Chapter 3).
CREATE
Create your own soundboard app with your own media. Here are some ideas:
- An app with four or five historical figures in which clicking each picture plays a speech or discussion of their accomplishments.
- An app that lets you click on pictures of your classmates or work colleagues to see their names and hear them say something goofy.
- A soundboard playing notes from your favorite musicians.
- Educational software for kids, e.g., a farm animal app
- A “Name that Tune” game that plays song notes and displays the song name (answer) after the user clicks a button.
- An app about your school/organization providing info about different places on campus.
