There’s a companion teacher guide as well, which supports educators in bringing coding into the classroom.

The curriculum also includes close-captioned videos, audio descriptions and videos in American Sign Language.

From December 1st to 15th, Apple Stores around the world will increase Today at Apple coding sessions. These free, interactive sessions provide opportunities for participants at a variety of skill levels to get started with coding. Plus, Apple offers sessions for every level, such as block-based coding with robots for beginners and Swift Playgrounds sessions for the more experienced.

Finally, more advanced learners in high school and college can utilize the Develop in Swift curriculum which provides practical tools for and techniques for futures jobs. Apple says the curriculum is great for both beginners and for those looking to expand on previous experience.
