HBCU C2 Academic Programs

The Apple Coding Club is a dynamic, student-run organization dedicated to advancing technological proficiency and fostering innovation. Fully supported by Apple, the club provides a unique platform for members to enhance their skills in coding, creativity, and cutting-edge AI technologies. The club’s mission is to empower students through hands-on experience, nurturing the next generation of developers and creative thinkers. Its goals are directly aligned with Apple’s commitment to technological advancement, encouraging members to explore and develop innovative solutions within Apple’s vast ecosystem. 

As a student-led initiative, the club offers its members unparalleled opportunities for leadership and project management. Students take the lead on all club activities, from curriculum development to event coordination, fostering a sense of ownership and entrepreneurial spirit. The club’s flagship event is the annual HBCU C2 App Design Challenge, a prestigious competition that showcases uniquely self-designed apps created by students. This event not only highlights the incredible talent within the club but also demonstrates the importance of inclusive design and innovation. 

Beyond campus, the Apple Coding Club is deeply committed to community engagement. Recognizing the critical need to bridge the digital divide, the club actively works with the youth of Austin by hosting year-round coding and AI chatbox workshops. These workshops provide valuable educational resources to underserved communities, equipping young people with the foundational skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Through these initiatives, the Apple Coding Club proves to be more than just a coding group; it is a catalyst for positive change, both within the student body and the wider community. 

Students of all majors are welcomed to join the Apple Coding Club; membership is extended annually in September.
