Swift Explorers Singapore 2022 features a series of free coding-related activities that allow students to learn app design and Swift coding on the iPad. The primary beneficiaries of this event are those students from Primary Schools to Junior Colleges. 

The programme aims to empower students with critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills through basic coding on the iPad. They also learn effective business skills through pitching app ideas to a broader audience. 

Additionally, they also gain access to the same opportunities and resources as real-world developers. It offers several benefits for students to help them identify, design, prototype, and build applications. 

The Swift Explorers Singapore 2022

Swift Explorers Singapore (SES) is a seven-month-long app development initiative managed and organised by Cresent Girls’ school. They maximised the resources from Apple and training supported by Tinkeracademy, an Apple Professional Learning Provider.

For the event, Crescent Girls’ School and Tinkeracademy aimed to impart digital literacy skills among students. They also hope to nurture the youth’s love for coding with fun and educational methods.

On the 8th of July, students and educators from 58 schools in Singapore celebrated one of their exciting milestones. They celebrated the completion of the first stage of their app development journey. Along with this, over 20 schools showcased their app concepts to the world at a graduation ceremony.
