🌟 Speaker Atuoha Anthony : Flutter Foundations: Mastering Core Widgets for Beautiful UI
Flutter’s widget system is at the heart of everything you build. In this session, we’ll explore the most essential Flutter widgets and how they come together to create responsive, beautiful user interfaces. Whether you're building a simple screen or a full app, understanding how to use and compose widgets effectively is your first step toward Flutter mastery. We’ll break down key layout widgets like Row, Column, and Stack, and show how to combine them to structure flexible, mobile-first UIs. You’ll also learn how Flutter’s rendering system works and how to use hot reload to iterate faster.

🌟 Speaker Maureen Josephine Akello : Building Custom widgets & dynamic UIs in Flutter
Custom widgets are the backbone of building clean, scalable, and maintainable Flutter apps. In this session, we will focus exclusively on how to create your own custom widgets — giving you the tools to extend Flutter’s built-in widgets and tailor your UI exactly how you want it. We’ll explore real-world examples of building reusable, parameterized widgets that can be dropped into any Flutter app, helping you write less code and build more efficient UIs. By the end, you’ll be equipped with a solid understanding of why custom widgets matter, how to build them effectively, and how to leverage them to keep your Flutter projects organized and flexible.

Key Takeaways: Gain a deep understanding of what custom widgets are and why they’re essential. Learn how to create custom StatelessWidgets and StatefulWidgets from scratch. Understand how to design constructors to make widgets reusable and configurable. Explore how to manage internal widget state for dynamic UI behavior. See best practices for combining and nesting custom widgets for modular UI design. Build confidence to create your own library of reusable Flutter widgets.
