"We believe that every student should have the opportunity to create something that can change the world.

Teams across Apple have been working closely with partners in Chicago for many years to bring cutting-edge coding and creativity opportunities to students across the city, and today's event is a testament to the outstanding talent and passion in this city.

​We're thrilled to be able to showcase some of these incredible student projects at Apple Michigan Avenue, a hub for the community to spark creativity and connection."

Beautiful work from blind and low vision creators in Chicago’s Photography for All summer program. They described how taking photos on iPhone or iPad is about more than creativity – it’s a way to access visual information and explore new places. https://t.co/wPJDjOdklj pic.twitter.com/w3rwXHjsqj
