Apple’s new store in Chengdu in China and all the shops are running coding lessons this week. Apple is using all of its worldwide network of stores as temporary classrooms this week to teach coding. The technology firm is using its 468 stores as bases for tutorials in the annual “Hour of Code” project. Craig Federighi, one of Apple’s top executives, says he wants to “set off a spark” in young learners. He also wants to dispel the geeky image of “solitary” computer programmers, saying “it’s an incredibly creative medium, not unlike music”. The Hour of Code is an international project giving people an introductory lesson in computer coding.
