At Fortune, we believe in providing our scholars with hands-on, real-world learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. That’s why we launched Fortune Codes and Creates—an innovative program that merges coding and art to empower scholars with 21st-century skills.
Through Apple’s Everyone Can Code and Everyone Can Create curriculum, our scholars engage in meaningful projects that blend technology and creativity. They’re not just learning to code; they’re using Swift to bring their ideas to life, from designing interactive stories to developing apps that solve real-world problems. Similarly, our art integration allows scholars to explore digital media, animation, and design—equipping them with the tools to express themselves in new and innovative ways.
One of the most exciting parts of Fortune Codes and Creates is seeing scholars take ownership of their learning. In our program, scholars:
🎨 Create: Express their ideas through digital drawing, music, and video storytelling.
💻 Code: Build problem-solving skills by learning Swift and creating functional projects.
🎤 Showcase: Present their work to the learning community, demonstrating both technical and artistic growth.
This initiative is about more than just technology—it’s about giving scholars the agency to become creators, not just consumers. It’s inspiring to watch them collaborate, iterate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

We’d love to hear from other educators! How are you integrating coding and creativity in your classrooms? Let’s exchange ideas and inspire each other to keep innovating for our scholars. 🚀
