On March 27, Apple’s holding a special education-focused event at Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago.
As always for Apple, the invite is a bit cryptic. “Let’s take a field trip,” and “join us to hear creative new ideas for teachers and students,” the invite reads.
Beyond pushing kids to learn its Swift coding language and to program in general (an initiative CEO Tim Cook champions every chance he gets), what else could Apple have in store? Let’s see if we can make a few educated guesses.
