On the heels of opening up registration for its annual WWDC event, Apple will hold an education-focused event on March 27 that will highlight "creative new ideas for teachers and students," multiple reports indicate.

Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago will host the event at 10am CDT on March 27. Apple's last education event took place all the way back in 2012 in New York City. In typical Apple fashion, the event's invitation doesn't offer any details about the impending announcements.

Apple has hosted hardware events during springtime before, and there are a number of rumored devices that could come out at this event. Gossip says Apple might be about to reveal a new 9.7-inch iPad for a special education price of $259. New iPads have been rumored for later this year as well, but it's unlikely that an education-focused iPad would include the new and expensive FaceID camera. A new iPad with Apple's high-end camera, which enables FaceID, Animoji, and ARKit features, may debut later this year.

Apple could reveal an updated MacBook Air as well, which would be welcome considering the Air hasn't seen a thorough update in years. Some analysts believe an updated MacBook Air may also include a more affordable price—between $799 and $899—and Apple could spin it as a lower-cost, educational device for high school and college-aged students.

The inky, stylized stroke on the event's invitation could also suggest new updates to the Apple Pencil, the company's one and only stylus built to be used with iPads.

Otherwise, Apple will likely talk about its educational software tools and initiatives in addition to any hardware announcements it makes. The second beta of iOS 11.3 revealed ClassKit, a new framework for education apps, so Apple may announce public availability for that. It has also been rumored that the company is revamping iBooks to become just "Books," but it's unclear if and when that program will be ready for the public.
