Exploring Swift App Development with iPad

Recently, my students had the opportunity to join a Swift App Development using iPad workshop 📱💻, a program organized in collaboration between Apple 🍎 and the Malaysia Ministry of Education (MOE) via DELIMa 📚.

The sessions were conducted fully in Bahasa Melayu 🇲🇾, making coding and app development more accessible to our local learners. Using Swift Playgrounds 🧩, my students explored the basics of coding 👩‍💻👨‍💻 and even started creating simple apps 💡📲.

It was truly inspiring ✨ to see their creativity, problem-solving, and confidence grow throughout the workshop.

This initiative shows how powerful 💪 it is when technology, language, and education come together. With the support of Apple 🍎 and MOE DELIMa 📚, my students are not just learning to code — they are learning to innovate, create, and dream big 🌟.

👉 those who would like to revisit or learn from the sessions, the recordings are available on YouTube Live ▶️ through this playlist.

Wow! That is is a really awesome program. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. Are the student still continuing on with their learning? Are there ideas to expand the program further to reach more learners?

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Yes, the students are still continuing their learning after the workshop. In fact, the workshop became a strong starting point for them to explore Swift development more seriously. After the session, they joined a national Swift Development competition, and I am very proud that two of my student teams were selected as Top 10 finalists for the Grand Finale.

Their growth has been very encouraging. At the beginning, many of them were just learning the basics of app development, but through consistent practice, teamwork, and mentoring, they became more confident in designing ideas, solving problems, building prototypes, and presenting their solutions. More importantly, they began to see coding not just as a technical skill, but as a way to create meaningful solutions for real issues around them.

Moving forward, I hope to expand the program to reach more learners by involving more students as peer mentors, running follow-up workshops, and creating more opportunities for students to participate in innovation and app development challenges. This program has shown that with the right exposure and support, students can grow tremendously and achieve at a very high level.

What an incredible opportunity for your students! I love how this workshop not only opened the door to coding but also made innovation accessible in their own language. Such a powerful way to spark creativity and confidence.
