Indian student wins Apple’s WWDC app-making challenge: What is it

As part of its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple issues an app-creating challenge to students across the globe every year. In this contest, students have to create an original app playground using the Swift coding language. This year, Apple increased the number of winners from the 350 awarded in previous years to 375 so even more students could be included in the event and recognised for their skills.

Their app playgrounds represent more than 30 countries and regions and cover topics as varied as healthcare, sports, entertainment and the environment. But there is one thing all of the winners have in common, they using coding to share their passions with the world. For the first-time winner, 20-year-old Asmi Jain from Indore, coding is an opportunity not only to forge a unique career path but also to help others along the way.
