On April 4^th, SHSID’s first grade students went to the Apple store in Qibao to complete a one-hour coding course. They had a great time learning basic coding with an app called Swift Playground.

The staff at the Apple store warmly welcomed all of our students. They then gave all the students a one-hour interactive course on basic coding using Swift Playground. Everyone was very engaged during the class. They tried their best to learn about the coding program and asked a lot of questions throughout the course.

After the one-hour course was completed, all the students gained a better understanding about the basics of coding and are interested and excited about learning computer coding in the future. This has provided them with an opportunity to further develop a new area of their IT skills. We extend our thanks to Apple for providing such a fun educational experience for our first-grade students.
