Reserve a spot at an Apple store to learn how to code and create as a family with Swift Playgrounds. Kids will experiment with code and design an app using the About Me playground. They’ll use Swift code to customize their app with fun fonts, background colors, Memoji, and more. Then you’ll work together to bring their app to life. Recommended for kids ages 10 and up. Devices will be provided.
Apple Labs are free, but you must reserve a space in advance. Dates, times, and availability vary by location. For sessions with amplified sound, hearing loop technology is available on request.
Marian’s Note: CelebrateFamily includes activities such as this because they are free and seem like an easy way to keep kids interested in technology without spending a lot of money.
