According to the Khaleej Times,
The first all-female Apple Developer Academy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was opened this week by the company. Tuwaiq Academy and Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University have teamed up with the Saudi Federation for Cyber Security, Programming and Drones to form the academy, which is Apple’s first coding school in the Middle East.

It’s not only coding that students will study at the new school; they will also learn about marketing and project management as well. 70% of the mentors are women, and female students from all around Saudi Arabia and abroad will be enrolled in the programme. As an Apple Developer Academy student, Lina Alismail says she feels “honoured and privileged.” Everything about our first day at the school seemed like coming true. In the next days, I’m looking forward to the new experiences, and I’m thankful for all of the resources the academy has given me and will continue to provide me.”
A 30-day foundation course and a lengthier 10-month academy programme are both on the academy’s list of goals for serving more than 600 women annually.
