Swift Playgrounds is an educational tool and development environment for the Swift programming language developed by Apple Inc., initially announced at the WWDC 2016 conference.[1] It was introduced as an iPad application alongside iOS 10, with a macOS version introduced in February 2020.[2] It is available for free via Apple's App Store for iPadOS and Mac App Store for macOS.
In addition to publishing the Swift Playgrounds application itself, Apple also produces a series of educational lessons teaching programming and debugging skills.[3] The application can also subscribe to lessons and other content published by third parties,[4][5] including lessons allowing users to control educational toys such as Lego Mindstorms EV3 and Sphero robots.[6] Apple publishes a curriculum guide for educators wishing to incorporate Swift Playgrounds into their teaching.[7]
