I think you need to dig deeper into Swift Playgrounds. The iPad user can definitely start their own playground outside of the preprogrammed ones provided by Apple.
In addition, you as a developer can create additional playgrounds in Xcode and transfer them to Swift Playgrounds on the iPad. That means you can give the kids a basic template and allow them to fill in the code. For example, create a template with a couple of pages with the imports already complete and a basic template of empty procedures to get them started.

- ontouchstart 10y agoI just did an experiment of upload XCode playground to iPad via AirDrop. It worked. https://twitter.com/ontouchstart/status/753801598367731712 https://twitter.com/ontouchstart/status/753801598367731712 However, with the .playgroundbook format (folder), it seems that I can only export it to Mac (as a folder) and can not AirDrop back to iPad. And it seems that XCode 8 beta-2 does not support playgroundbook yet. I am keeping an eye on Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/swift_playgrounds_doc_format/ https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/docum...
