“In October 2019, Ed Farm launched its pilot version of the Pathways course. It was an exciting experience full of action research and real time adjustments. Ed Farm team members Leah Pope and LaToria Foy delivered instruction and planned each class with intentionality and rigor, and they worked tirelessly to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment for all 18 learners. They also recruited two Swift experts from MotionMobs — a Birmingham-based software consulting and development firm — to provide additional instructional support. The experts, Taylor Smith and Matt Clark, provided real world insights into how to develop iOS apps using the Swift programming language. Their expertise was incredibly valuable, and they even took the time to create their own Swift Playgrounds from scratch to highlight various coding concepts ranging from functions to structures.“
