Student App Showcase is a new coding resource from Apple Education that we want to bring to your attention. This playbook, available for free download in PDF format, is designed to help you get "started planning and preparing for a showcase event. You’ll find information on showcase formats to suit your environment, tips on inviting and preparing judges, a downloadable rubric and certificate, and more." Showcase event is a great way for young coders to showcase their coding skills and share their work with others.

This guide contains resources and 'customizable materials' to be used while planning for the showcase event. There are three stages leading up to final app showcase: the preparation stage in which students get to prepare a three-minute pitch, the planning stage that consists of attending to : showcase formats, judging the showcase, invitations and promotion, and recognition. The final stage is the sharing phase where students get to share their final products.
