Apple Expands Its 'Everyone Can Code' Initiative Outside the United States

Everyone Can Code expands outside the US

Exactly one year ago, Apple unveiled one of its most ambitious initiatives. And it has nothing to do with launching new products with a brutal marketing campaign. No. But the initiative of being able to offer students the possibility to learn programming code for one year. Of course, using your own language, Swift.

At the beginning of this year 2017, some schools and universities throughout the United States adopted this initiative and taught the curriculum «Swift Curriculum» to develop applications for iOS and macOS. The entire course was designed entirely by Apple educators and engineers. To date, more than 30 centers are immersed in this study plan. But Apple has wanted to go a step further and wants to expand this curriculum outside the borders of the United States.

Coding with Swift at RMIT University Melbourne

On the other hand, Australia and its RMIT University of Melbourne will be in charge of adopting the initiative and propose different one-year courses for students to learn to code and design applications. Recall that Tim Cook himself commented that the future will go through the user knowing how to program their applications and thus meet their needs.

As the Australian center itself has commented, in addition to including the Swift Curriculum curriculum, It will also propose courses for teachers and a summer course. Meanwhile, the course for students will be available both in person and through the online Campus, something that many Universities around the world already offer to students.

Finally, if we take a look at the curriculum, we can see that Apple thought of everything and adapts to different ages of the student body. That is to say, there are courses for primary, secondary and higher education. Also, different free e-books were launched through the iBooks Store to start programming with Swift.
