“Swift” is an easy-to-understand programming language used by professional developers to create world class apps. Montgomery County Public School middle school students can now register to enjoy a free, fun week of summer camp to learn Swift from coding experts.
Campers will learn to code with Swift Playgrounds, which is a free app for iPad that makes getting started with Swift code interactive and fun.
More information about the camp and how to register is available at https://www.montgomerycancode.com/
The camp will be hosted in July with the option to select one week to participate. Each week offers the same programming activities, for students to learn Swift code on an iPad, select a coding challenge from local nonprofit and design a prototype app. Campers also participate in a career day and a showcase experience to pitch their apps.
The full day, in-person camp will have Week 1 (Monday-Friday July 15-19) and Week 2 (Monday-Friday July 22-26) at Montgomery College. There also will be a virtual camp Week 3 (Monday-Friday July 29-Aug. 2). The camp is free to Montgomery County Public School middle school students.
Swift is a code that is interactive, intuitive and easy to read and write. The summer experience will include Career Pathway Days where students have opportunities to interact with leading local IT companies to talk about future careers. The program will conclude with a fun certificate of completion and other surprises to ensure a memorable, valuable summer experiences.
