Apple introduces more lessons for kids to learn about coding and creativity

Apple wants to build the coding and creative skills in your young ones this summer. Canadian kids can take part in things like Apple Camp, new weekly Kids Hours, and How to Get Started with Coding sessions. For those interested in the Apple Camp, it’s a free three-day experience for children ages 8 to 12 years old. The camp teaches kids about coding, illustration, movie making, and composing of music. In Apple Stores around the world, there are now also weekly Kids Hour that educates about different, fun hands-on projects like “Sphero Maze Challenge,” “Making Movies Together,” and “Creating Music with GarageBand.”

There are also new daily How To sessions at Apple Stores. The new one geared towards kids is the Get Started with Coding sessions. This gives children a chance to explore coding concepts and use the same code professional developers use. Apple’s Swift Playgrounds app for the iPad helps make coding lessons more interactive and fun for beginner coders from ages 12 and up. If you’d like to check out these lessons and sign up, you can find out more in this link.

Apple Camp is back for the summer!

It's mid-way through July and between summer family getaways I'm also looking at what else the kids want to do that doesn't require a full commitment of a week or even a full day. Sometimes we just want a little something that takes a morning or afternoon. 

Apple hosts a really great short camp solution for kids over the summer months. The in-store experience offers a themed project that kids can work on using the latest technology through Apple's devices. Your kids don't need to have Apple products to attend as everything is provided but it does help!
