Everyone Can Code will begin by teaching kids how to code in Swift, Apple’s own programming language. It’ll use Swift Playgrounds and Tim Cook said that more than 100 schools have signed up for the program since June.

Apple also announced that 114 ConnectED schools will be up and running by this fall. Apple has also delivered a Man and an iPad to 4,500 teachers, put an Apple TV in every ConnectED classroom and have given 50,000 iPads for students.
