Apple challenges students worldwide to create apps each year at WWDC.
This contest requires Swift-coded app playgrounds. Apple expanded the number of winners from 350 to 375 this year to include more kids and recognize their talents.
Their app playgrounds encompass healthcare, sports, entertainment, and the environment in over 30 nations and regions.
All winners use code to convey their hobbies. First-time winner Asmi Jain, 20, from Indore, sees coding as a chance to assist people and build a distinctive professional path.

Jain learned her friend’s uncle needed brain surgery at Medi-Caps University. Eye misalignment and facial paralysis resulted. She quickly designed her winning playground to capture a user’s eye movements as they pursue a ball around the screen.
Jain thinks the playground may assist people with various eye problems and accidents improve their eye muscles. It was inspired by her friend’s uncle. Before WWDC23, Swift Student Challenge winner Jain met with Apple CEO Tim Cook virtually.
“At Apple, we help everyone pursue their passions and realize their best ideas. Asmi’s fantastic work shows India’s inventiveness and resourcefulness. I had a great experience meeting so many iOS developers earlier this year. “We’re excited to see what she does next,” Cook remarked.
“It was important for me to create an app playground that could positively impact the lives of people like him,” WWDC23 Swift Challenge winner Jain remarked. I want to receive feedback, make it useful and user-friendly, then put it on the App Store.
I want to extend it to strengthen all facial muscles and make it a therapeutic tool that folks like my friend’s uncle may use at their own speed.
“When you feel as though you’re part of something bigger, it motivates you and drives you to do better,” Jain says of coding to solve issues. I help my friends and community via coding. It empowers me to be independent.
