Apple unveiled redesigned Everyone Can Code curriculum to help introduce more elementary and middle school students to the world of coding. It includes more resources for teachers, a brand new guide for students and updated Swift Coding Club materials.

Students in more than 5,000 schools worldwide already use Everyone Can Code. The new curriculum builds on existing interactive puzzles, guides and activities to make learning to code even more approachable and connected to students’ everyday lives. Everyone Can Code Puzzles is an all-new student guide to Swift Playgrounds where each chapter helps students build on what they already know, experiment with new coding concepts and creatively communicate how coding impacts their lives.

A companion teacher guide supports educators in bringing coding into their classrooms with helpful ways to facilitate, deepen and assess student learning. Designed to support all students, the new curriculum is optimized for VoiceOver and includes closed-captioned videos and audio descriptions as well as videos in American Sign Language.

New version of Everyone Can Code integrates Everyone Can Create project guides to help students express what they learn through drawing, music, video and photos. Designed to help unleash kids’ creativity throughout their school day, those guides give teachers fun and meaningful tools to easily fold creativity skills into their existing lesson plans in any subject from coding to chemistry.
