What is Sw ift Playgrounds?

Swift is a programming language released by Apple in 2014. It was designed to be simpler than the Objective-C language Apple developers were using until that point, and easier to get into for people without prior programming experience. In 2016, Apple introduced Swift Playgrounds, an iPad app that introduces Swift to children aged eight-12 years old — and is popular with adults.

What about AR?

Apple has big plans for augmented reality (AR), and the tech is starting to find its way into educational toys. Even toddlers can get started, with Parker, Your AR Bear ($59.99, for ages 3+), which uses an iOS app to allow children to interact with Parker while solving puzzles and playing games.
