This is arguably nifty.
Apple on Thursday announced that the company is expanding its partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCus) to add 10 more regional coding centers to act as tech hubs fo campuses and their surrounding communities.
The expansion is part of Apple’s Community Education Initiative, which was launched in 2019, focuses on coding, creativity, and workforce development, and has 24 locations in the U.S., 12 of which are HBCUs and 21 serve a majority of Black and Brown students.
Per Apple:
Ten HBCUs, which have been working alongside Apple and Tennessee State University for the past year, will now become hubs to promote coding in their broader communities: Arkansas Baptist College, Central State University, Claflin University, Dillard University, Fisk University, Lawson State Community College, Morehouse College, Prairie View A&M University, Southern University at Shreveport, and Tougaloo College. Apple expects to double the number of HBCU partners by the end of this summer, expanding the network of schools offering coding, creativity, and career pathway opportunities.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
