Swift Playgrounds: a new discipline in EU schools

A new subject has appeared in elementary schools in Europe. The kids have a programming discipline in Swift Playgrounds for Apple products. The main task of the lessons is to teach children logical thinking and provide a basis for further growth when choosing a profession in the field of IT technology.

The pilot project started 2 years ago in English and Italian schools. The result stunned teachers and parents. Children quickly adapted to the programming language and showed excellent results in the study of other subjects. Innovative training has brought unexpected benefits to the initiators of the project. Therefore, already in 2019, the programming language was introduced in other elementary schools of the European Union.

 

Swift Playgrounds: A New Trend

 

Apple is moving in the right direction, promoting its creation for free and expanding functionality. In fact, this is free advertising and increased sales of Mac and iPad computers. The flexibility of the development environment allows not only to learn the basics of programming, but also to create your own applications. Toys are a trifle. The Swift Playgrounds environment helps in mastering robotics. Having received the necessary knowledge, the child can program drones and other radio-controlled models.

Swift Playgrounds has many competitors in the market. The same Tynker for iOS, which is still practiced in primary schools in the United States. Or Lrn and Javvy for Android systems. But in terms of ease of learning (do not forget that these are kids and they need full interactivity), Swift is much more interesting.

Apple executives have made the announcement that the best students will come into the view of the corporation. And this means that every baby has a chance to get a decent education and workplace. Given that the company is showing unprecedented growth and opening new branches around the world, students are trying their best.
