WWDC Submissions
My submissions to Apple's WWDC scholarship program over the years
Every year Apple hosts their Worldwide Developer's Conference, and with it they offer the opportunity for students to apply for a scholarship to attend the conference. I have applied to the conference four times, and won a scholarship twice (hopefully three times!) Here are my submissions:
WWDC21
Swift Student Challenge
Verbosi
Verbosi is my own original programming language that I developed for this playground. Yes, that's right, I made an entire programming language using Swift!
The language is meant to be as verbose as possible, and looks very similar to pseudocode. The goal was to make it very readable while also ensuring that it can be used as a powerful language.
WWDC20
Swift Student Challenge
Accepted!
AppleSweeper + AI Solver
This playground is a game called "AppleSweeper" and is a recreation of the traditional Minesweeper game using SwiftUI.
I worked very hard on the data structure of this playground to ensure that it would be elegant, concise, and efficient. I had to redesign it three times. It was a very interesting challenge coding a game using SwiftUI!
WWDC19
LearningMachineLearning
This playground will take you through the ins and outs of a technology called machine learning: a very powerful tool that can be difficult to understand. You will build a program to detect what objects are shown through the camera.
Go ahead and download my playground to scan objects and see how the label on the bottom of the screen changes. The type of objects you can scan are shown at the top of the view, so you can start by scanning different breeds of dogs.
WWDC18
Accepted!
The Search For the Next macOS Name
This playground is a game called "The Search For The Next macOS Name" and is based on the ongoing joke that every year Craig Federighi goes on a journey to find out what the next macOS will be named.
This game is an endless runner that takes place in the orignial Macintosh operating system, and you can jump on various windows throughout the OS
My Road to WWDC18
The experience of being a scholarship winner at Apple's WWDC18 was a life changing experience for me. This short documentary captures my experience there, as well as what led up to me applying in the first place!
