If you're new to coding in the classroom, Swift Playgrounds' 'Learn to Code 1' module is the ideal starting point, intended to introduce the fundamentals of code in an accessible way, in just one hour. Here, we guide you through it step by step, from a simple introduction through to getting students to create their own dancing robot animation in MeeBot Dances! What is Swift Playgrounds? This is now available as a free download on Mac and the iPad. Swift is Apple's own programming language, used by professionals to create apps for the Apple ecosystem, including iPad, Mac, iPhone, Apple TV and Apple Watch. Swift Playgrounds is an app that teaches coding using interactive puzzles and colourful characters. It’s designed for students aged eight and over, and helps you introduce coding in the same language used by professional app developers. What you’ll needīefore you start, make sure you've got all the necessary kit. You'll first need to download the Swift Playgrounds app from the App Store, which requires a 64-bit iPad with iOS 10 or later or iPadOS and on a Mac, MacOS. It's recommended that every student has an individual iPad to get the best experience, but you could feasibly have one device between two. A display at the front of the class will let you guide students through, and this teacher guide from Apple will guide you through the Hour of Code session. Open Swift Playgrounds and Find the Learn to Code 1 and MeeBot Dances projects from the list below (subscribe to UBTech Jimu Robots from the From Other Publishers section).

When you're ready to start, open the presentation and give a brief introduction to code and what it's used for in the real world, plus a rundown of Swift Playgrounds and what the class will be doing during the session. The first part of the session focuses on commands and functions. Run them through slide 2 and ask them to create a paper fortune teller using the instructions on screen. Slide 3 explains how steps can be put together to create a command that performs a function.

This example is all about being told to brush your teeth, which in code could be formatted as 'brushTeeth()'. Now they have grasped the reasoning behind commands and functions, you can advance to slide 4.
