Apart from Pathlight, Apple will also work with two universities - SUTD and RMIT Online - to launch app development and Augmented Reality courses ...

A Secondary 1 student at Pathlight School, Kaeden has been hard at work building a game which can be played on an iPad. The game, which he developed with the help of his teacher, involves a tapping competition between two players.The players are required to race their characters to the finish line and the speed of the character is determined by how fast the players can tap a button.

Two of them – the Singapore University of Technology and Design and RMIT Online – have launched courses using Apple’s App Development with Swift curriculum. Their courses are created with adult learners in mind, and are supported by SkillsFuture Singapore .Pathlight School will offer an adaptation of Apple’s existing Swift Accelerator programme for students at the secondary level, who will be selected based on their aptitude and interest in coding.

Information technology has always been a core part of Pathlight's curriculum as they know many of their students have a natural inclination and aptitude for it, explained Wilfred Tay, head of Pathlight's IT and Design Academy."From as young as Primary 1, we develop their ICT skills in various domains, such as the use of productivity tools, coding, digital graphics, robotics and website development as they progress through their education years with Pathlight," he said.

He added that the school's partnership with Apple will deepen Pathlight students' coding literacy and bring them "to the next level".
