Swift

Participants in Swift101 commit to at least one 90-minute synchronous lab once a week for 16 weeks throughout the SP25 semester.

The iOS Developer Lab, housed at the UIC Innovation Center is a dedicated space for guided practice for the Develop in Swift Fundamentals curriculum. In this course, students build fundamental iOS app development skills. They’ll master the core concepts and practices of the Swift programming language that developers use daily and build a basic fluency in Xcode’s source and UI editors.

OSS

OSS participants chart their own path! Through one-off boot camps, series workshops, and live demonstrations, our Sandbox team will guide participants through career exploration workshops, virtual and augmented reality curricula, creative tool applications, and more.

Program highlights include:

  • Career Exploration
  • Augmented reality/virtual reality environments
  • iOS App Design
  • Health Equity + Community Change
