Apple has partnered with Tynker, a San Francisco-based STEM education platform, to release two new game-based programming lessons aimed to help kids learn how to code. The new Space Cadet and Dragon Spells courses are available for free.
The partnership includes free guides for teachers available through iBooks, and two free courses through the Everyone Can Code program for K-5 kids.
The new courses are designed to help K-5 kids become familiar with Swift syntax at an early age before transitioning to Apple’s Swift Playgrounds app in sixth grade and up.
Tynker for iPad is available for free on the App Store.
