Apple has started accepting applications for its Swift Student Challenge, a global competition for students aiming to become developers. Participants must demonstrate their coding skills and creativity by creating apps. Apple recognises 350 winners annually, with 50 standout submissions invited to its Cupertino headquarters.

Eligibility criteria

To apply, students must be at least 13 years old in the US or 16 years old in the European Union. In other regions, local laws apply. They must be enrolled in school, a STEM program, an Apple Developer Academy, or have graduated within the past 6 months.

Competition rules

Participants must create an interactive scene in Swift Playgrounds or Xcode on a topic of their choice. The submission should be under 3 minutes and in-app playground format (.swiftpm) in a ZIP file not exceeding 25MB. The playground should run on Swift Playgrounds 4.4 or later or Xcode 15.

Rewards

Winners receive a one-year membership to the Apple Developer Program, a voucher for an App Development with Swift certification exam, and a gift from Apple. Additionally, 50 standout submissions will be named ‘Distinguished Winners' and invited to Cupertino headquarters for a three-day visit in the summer. Apple covers travel and lodging expenses for these winners.

Apple's Vision Pro Buzz 

Furthermore, the Apple Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset, has become a sensation on the internet. People are seen wearing it everywhere - on the streets, at the gym, on trains and planes, and even while having lunch together. YouTuber Casey Neistat's video featuring the Apple Vision Pro went viral as he took viewers on a wild ride through the busy streets of New York City, onto the subway, and into the heart of Times Square.
