Adoption of Apple’s ‘Everyone Can Code’ curriculum, offered free of charge to schools and colleges, continues. The company today announced that 70 colleges and universities in Europe have opted to offer the program to their students …
Apple first launched the curriculum in May of last year, when it was taken up by community colleges and high schools. The program was developed from an earlier ebook course offered by Apple.
In November, the initiative saw its first international expansion, at more than 20 international schools. A month later, it saw a major expansion when it was made available to half a million students in Chicago.
Apple says that today’s expansion sees it roll out in 16 different countries.
Tim Cook has often talked of the importance of teaching coding to students of all ages, and says that take-up has been enthusiastic.
One of the European colleges adopting the program is Harlow College in the UK. Its principal says that the skills taught have relevance beyond software development.
The program is based around Apple’s Swift programming language.
