The Learning Interchange content is developed by educators, for other educators. Much of the content on the Apple Learning Interchange is contributed by members of the Apple Distinguished Educator program. This select group of educators is an important resource to Apple and the education community.
Through our relationships with leading companies, non-profit organizations, and government agencies, we provide opportunities to engage students with content experts. Many of these events have opportunities for live interaction with scientists and experts, through chats hosted during the broadcast.
