Apple Foundation Program
A Free, Immersive App Development Experience
CCS invites Metro Detroit community members (18+) to participate in the free Apple Foundation Program-a unique, one-month course designed to unlock your potential in the iOS design and development space.
The program is a comprehensive, end-to-end journey that teaches you the entire app development lifecycle for the iOS platform. Working in dynamic, collaborative teams, you and your peers will take an idea from spark to finish:
Concept: Master design thinking, user research, and creative problem-solving.
Prototype: Bring your ideas to life by designing from initial sketch to a fully working prototype, learning the essentials of developing within the Apple iOS ecosystem.
Presentation: Refine your communication skills and learn how to communicate and present your team’s final project.
