Apple partnering with Girls Who Code, offering special events and programs for International Women’s Day on March 8th

Come International Women’s Day on March 8th, Apple’s throwing out some cool events and activities in cooperation with Girls Who Code.

The first offer, through Girls Who Code, which supports coding opportunities for girls and young women in the United States, is that through Apple’s Everyone Can Code curriculum, 90,000 girls and Girls Who Code Club facilitators in all 50 states will have the opportunity to learn Apple’s programming language Swift.

Per Apple’s description of the event:

Swift training will also be provided for club leaders to help expand the number and reach of coding clubs. Apple supports educational opportunities for students of all ages and backgrounds, and advocates for girls’ right to access the same learning opportunities as their male counterparts through its Developer Academies, Everyone Can Code curriculum and work with the Malala Fund and National Center for Women and Information Technology.

The second offer, which will take place at select Apple Store locations throughout the world, is that visitors can attend over 60 Today at Apple sessions in a new “Made By Women” series throughout March. Sessions will be held in select stores in Singapore, Kyoto, Hong Kong, London, Milan, Paris, Dubai, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles. 

The third offer is that Apple Watch users worldwide will be able to earn an exclusive badge and iMessage sticker when they complete a walk, run, or wheelchair workout of a mile or longer on International Women’s Day. 

Finally, every App of the Day featured in the App Store in March in the United States will highlight an app founded, developed, or led by a woman, including Bumble, TheSkimm, and Stitch Fix. Apple will also be promoting women across Apple Music, iTunes, Beats 1, Apple Books, and Apple Podcasts. 

There’s some neat stuff coming up next Friday and keep an eye out for it!
