Coding Clubs
Start an after-school Swift Coding Club which provide fun, flexible, activities on coding and app design. The Swift Coding Club includes materials for students of all ages and levels. Your students will participate in:
- App Design Activities: Students identify a problem to solve and then brainstorm, plan, prototype, and evaluate an original app project. They create an app pitch video to showcase the app idea in school or in the community.
- Coding Activities: Students learn coding concepts and relate them to everyday situations, then apply the concepts in a coding app like Swift Playgrounds or Xcode.
- Optional "Pick and Choose" Activities: Students can extend their learning with additional coding challenges and with robots, drones and other bluetooth accessories.
