A few weeks ahead of the Worldwide Developer Conference 2022, Apple has announced this year’s “Swift Student Challenge” winners. In addition to traditional prizes like outwear, the winners are also given AirPods Pro as a bonus in recognition of their hard work.
Every year, Apple holds its “Swift Student Challenge” for students who love to code before the WWDC event in June. Students from around the world can showcase their coding talent by creating an original project using the Swift Playgrounds app on the topic of their choice and submitting it for an evaluation. Projects are judged on their technical accomplishment, the creativity of ideas, and the content of written responses.
The WWDC21 Swift Student Challenge winners were three young girls: Gianna Yan creator of the Feed Fleet app, Abinaya Dinesh creator of the Gastro at the Home app, and Damilola Awofisayo creator of TecHacks.
