Thanks Apple and Crescent Girls’ School for the chance to work together on Swift Explorers this year! Through the year, we had a chance to explore coding and design with #SwiftPlaygrounds on iPad to hundreds of students from dozens of schools. Congrats to all students!
Congratulations to the first graduating class of Swift Explorers Singapore! Students in the program learned the basics of coding and developed creative apps that solve issues they’re passionate about — from helping people care for their families to improving mental wellness.

Coding is for everyone, regardless of gender, age, or ability. Last week, we taught our friends from the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) how to code on Swift Playgrounds. Although there were technical challenges, everyone persevered and managed to code!
