Apple’s Everyone Can Code Adopted in 70 Tertiary Institutions Across Europe

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 22-01-2018

Technology company Apple has announced that 70 colleges and universities across Europe have adopted “Everyone Can Code”, a comprehensive program designed by Apple to help everyone learn to build mobile apps.

These colleges and universities are adopting Apple’s App Development with Swift curriculum, helping to create opportunities for all students and equipping them with the skills they need to pursue careers in the booming app economy.

Education institutions in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal amongst others will offer App Development with Swift to prepare their students for future careers in app development.

The full-year course was designed by Apple engineers and educators to teach coding and app design to students of all levels and backgrounds.
Apple CEO Tim Cook says coding is an essential skill for today’s workforce.

“Through “Everyone Can Code”, we’re giving people around the world the power to learn, write and teach coding. Since launching Everyone Can Code two years ago, we’ve seen growing excitement for the initiative from schools around the world, who are increasingly incorporating the curriculum into their classrooms.”

Apple introduced its App Development with Swift curriculum in early 2017, with the materials available as a free download from the iBooks Store.
