Apple has announced to host its annual developer conference WWDC 20 on 22 Jun.
It is for free for all developers in the Apple Developer App on the Apple Developer Site.
Along with this, it has also announced the Swift Student Challenge, for student developers to showcase coding skills on Swift playground.
We can’t wait to meet online in June with the global developer community and share with them all of the new tools we’ve been working on to help them create even more incredible apps and services. We look forward to sharing more details about WWDC20 with everyone as we get closer to this exciting event.
A new Swift Student Challenge is also promoted on Swift playground by creating an interactive scene that can be experienced within three minutes. It is open to student developers from all over the world. For more information check out the Apple developer site.
It is encouraged for students to participate in this challenge. This will be a good learning experience and also for a developer in general since it is free! (usually, it is about $1600).
As per the Apple’s blog, following is the criteria for applying for students for WWDC.
Build your Swift playground, answer a few written prompts, provide documentation, and submit.
