In today’s digital economy, the demand for coding skills is growing rapidly. Recognizing the importance of early exposure to programming, Apple offers Develop in Swift, a comprehensive coding curriculum designed to equip students aged 14 and up with the skills they need for higher education or a career in app development. iPlanet partners with educational institutions to integrate this curriculum, ensuring students and educators have the tools to succeed.
Developing the Future with Swift
Develop in Swift is a comprehensive coding offering from Apple for students aged 14 and up. The curriculum prepares students for higher education or a career in app development using the Swift programming language. It’s complemented by free, online professional learning for educators. And it’s designed for Mac, which supports all major programming languages – making it the ideal device for teaching and learning code.
The program encourages students to go beyond basics. As students advance, they build fully functioning apps, applying real-world concepts that reflect industry standards.
A Progressive Path to Learning
As students move from Develop in Swift Explorations or Develop in Swift AP® CS Principles to more advanced concepts in Develop in Swift Fundamentals and Develop in Swift Data Collections, they’ll explore designing and building a fully functioning app of their own. Students can even earn an industry-recognised certification for their knowledge of Swift and Xcode. And for out-of-school coding, the App Design Workbook, App Showcase Guide and Swift Coding Club help students design and celebrate their app ideas.
With iPlanet’s support, schools can seamlessly integrate this program into their curricula, ensuring students receive structured and meaningful exposure to app development.
Support for Educators through Professional Learning
Teacher guides support educators by providing them with tools to deepen engagement with aspiring app developers, regardless of their experience with teaching Swift or other programming languages. They’re complemented by free, online professional learning for educators through Canvas by Instructure. In this introductory course led by Apple education experts, participants will learn the foundational knowledge needed to teach Develop in Swift in any educational environment. Free, online course materials for teaching Swift are available on Canvas Commons to facilitate learning from anywhere.
By partnering with iPlanet, educational institutions benefit from expert guidance and continuous support throughout the deployment of Apple’s coding curriculum. iPlanet ensures that both educators and students have access to the right tools and training, building confidence in teaching and learning Swift.
