What's new?
This year we are excited to launch the programme with a brand new curriculum and two exciting challenges:
App Design Challenge:
Led by Crescent Girls' School (CGS), this challenge focuses on design thinking and basic coding with Swift Playgrounds on the iPad. Participants will create innovative and user-friendly apps that solve real-world problems.
App Development Challenge:
Headed by School of Science and Technology (SST), Singapore, this challenge dives deeper into the technical aspects of app development. Participants will build utility apps with cutting-edge technologies like Augmeneted Reality (AR) and Machine Learning (Core ML) all with Swift Playground on the iPad.
[NEW] World Building Challenge:
Also led by SST, this challenge provides a gentle introduction to coding. Participants will explore their creativity and build landscapes inspired by SG60 with Byte and friends on Swift Playground.
