I found something crazy - my #swiftstudentchallenge idea draft! 🤩
It was made during work, on a coffee break, as a concept sketch for #WWDC 21 submission. It was second online #AppleEvent. ☕️
The final app turned out almost exactly the same, and it won an award! 🥳🏆
Last week also marked the close of submissions for the #SwiftStudentChallenge.
We can't wait to see what the community has built. Your Swift projects could inspire the next generation of developers.
I’m super excited about the first submissions for the #SwiftStudentChallenge! I review every PR and leave a short comment. Amazing work - congratulations! 🎉
Do me a favor and add your project. It’s amazing to see your creativity!

A year ago I managed to revive the #WWDCSstudents on #GitHub. 🚀
This amazing collection of many #AppleScholarship and #SwiftStudentChallenge participants is a mine of inspiration! ✨
The first submissions are already in! Let's begin! 🥳

📚 The Outcome
Diploma received. Then the email arrived - I won the #SwiftStudentChallenge again!
WWDC was still online, but the journey wasn’t over.
🚀 #DubDub is more than a conference. It’s a global celebration of curiosity, passion, and people.
🌹 #SwiftStudentChallenge - My Projects - #WWDC21 💨
As my studies were coming to an end, I applied for the challenge one last time. This time, my focus was clear and deliberate - deep research into #accessible navigation.
A strong finish mattered.

First comment from friends.
“Wait… did you make GTA?!" 🤯
Good luck. Take your time. You’ve got three weeks. 🚀

2020 was different. For the first time, #WWDC was fully online - and the #SSC officially began.
Public transport and accessibility matter. But what if transport exists… and people who need it simply can’t use it.
Is the #SwiftStudentChallenge for me? 🤔
1️⃣ If you're asking yourself this question, the answer is "yes"! 🤩
2️⃣ If coding fills you with excitement, the answer is an enthusiastic "hell yeah"! ❤️🔥
3️⃣ And if you're currently a student, you're definitely in the right place. 🚀
✨ #SwiftStudentChallenge - My Projects - #WWDC19 ✨
Success fuels ambition. After 2017, I returned in 2019 for the #AppleScholarship. Two more years of coding sharpened my skills and confidence in #Swift, so this time the goal was clear: build something truly unique.

⚡️ #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. 👇

#Apple #WWDC26
Today opened the submission for this year's #SwiftStudentChallenge for three weeks.As a two-time winner, I can highly recommend it and got to know a few nice people along the way.
Here is the most important stuff you need (to know) from start to finish ⬇️
📖 The Story
Behind every strong project is something personal. Look around your room, your family, your community. Inspiration is often hiding in everyday life.
A meaningful story makes your playground memorable, not just technically correct.✨
#SwiftStudentChallenge #WWDC26
“Great apps begin with great ideas. Think about what your app will do and what problem it can solve.” 💡
This quote from Apple perfectly captures the spirit of the #SwiftStudentChallenge. It’s not just about code - it’s about purpose, clarity, and intention.
#Swift #iOSDev
Bonus tip 🌍✈️
Check travel docs too - passport validity, visa needs, and if you’re under legal age, you’ll need an adult guardian. This doesn’t affect judging, but it matters later!
More tips + my experience soon… stay creative 🍀
#SwiftStudentChallenge
1️⃣ Build your app playground 🎮
Create an interactive experience people can explore in under 3 minutes. Use templates, add custom graphics, audio, magic ✨
Must be a .swiftpm ZIP, built in Swift Playgrounds 4.6+ or Xcode 26+, and it’s judged offline!

Want to apply for the #SwiftStudentChallenge? 🧠✨

Remember, you aren't looking for the 🦄 idea, but the goal is to describe yourself by the code, project and text that you will attach into #swiftstudentchallenge submission.📦
You'll write your own story as others did! 📝

Dark webpage layout with purple "Get ready" section and green "Winners" section containing guidance text about the Swift Student Challenge.
Firstly, check #AppleDeveloper webpage for some small research. Even #Apple left some tips and ideas that you can use on your own. 🔍
Every good idea should be put on the paper. Add some details and check next day if this plan is okay to be a #swiftstudentchallenge submission.📚

#SwiftStudentChallenge - Idea 💡
How to be ready till Friday? First, it's good to find a proper idea for your #submission. 📨
The goal of SSC is to promote #Swift as a dev language and rise the knowledge of how those skills could even change the world!🌍
How to do that? 🧵
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. 🛜
