⚡️ #SwiftStudentChallenge - My Projects - #WWDC17

Before today’s challenge, there was the #WWDCScholarship. 🌍

It started back in 2011 and gave young devs a real reason to dream big. I joined that journey in 2017. 👇

#AppleDeveloper

Winners received tickets for #WWDC and special gifts like t-shirts, pins, even an Apple TV or AirPods.

#WWDCScholarship was renamed #SwiftStudentChallenge in 2020 when the #WWDC conference was held completely online for the first time. 🛜

#WWDCScholarship involved writing an essay based on several questions from #Apple. Participants also submitted code that was technically reviewed by the committee. 🧑‍🎓✅

In 2011, 150 awards were given out. Over the years, the number of scholarship awards increased to 350. 🏆🙌

#SwiftStudentChallenge, once the #WWDCScholarship, is Apple's prestigious award for young innovators worldwide. 🏆🥇

Inspiring the next gen of programmers, this contest has energized minds since #WWDC 2011. 🥳🚀

#Apple #AppleEvent #WWDC26

Before the #swiftstudentchallenge, there was another #Apple youth competition with similar rules. The winners received a #WWDCScholarship! 🏅

I can't recall what finally prompted me to apply, but I did it! 🥳

#WWDC17 was my first encounter with a company I admired. 🤩

I'm not entirely sure how I heard about the #WWDCScholarship. As every year, I was eagerly anticipating #WWDC17.

When I discovered the chance to win a ticket to the #AppleEvent, I immediately got to work in Xcode. 👨‍💻

I was awarded the #WWDCScholarship twice in #WWDC17 and #WWDC19. My work was also featured in #SwiftStudentChallenge in #WWDC20 and #WWDC21.🏆

It was a huge cheer for me to be a better and better developer! It also allowed me to participate in the #AppleEvent for the first time!

I was awarded the #WWDCScholarship twice, in #WWDC17 and #WWDC19. My work was also featured in the #swiftstudentchallenge during #WWDC20 and #WWDC21. 🏆

These achievements boosted my motivation as a developer and gave me my first chance to participate in an #AppleEvent!
