What is Coding?
Technology has a language. It’s called code, and we believe coding is an essential skill. Learning to code teaches you how to solve problems and work together in creative ways, and it helps you build apps that bring your ideas to life. We think everyone should have the opportunity to create something that can change the world, so Apple has designed a new program that lets anyone learn, write, and teach code.
