Apple’s Swift Student Challenge has given thousands of students around the world the opportunity to showcase their creativity and build real-world skills to take into their careers and beyond. Since 2020, students participating in the challenge have joined a worldwide community of developers using Swift — the same programming language used by professionals — to create the next wave of groundbreaking apps.
We have been attending the showcase of this challenge for last few years and it’s always been an eye opener to see the creativity of coders.
Everyone Can Code projects
Interest among students who wish to learn coding and app development is widespread, and these skills are seen as highly desirable.
Everyone Can Code resources to support educators in bringing app design and development to students.
To support teaching Swift Playgrounds for educators, there are four new Everyone Can Code Projects that provide step-by-step resources to guide students in developing essential skills while creating apps that solve problems they care about.
If you are an educator, do explore this and if you are a student, please work with your educators to leverage the same.

Apple is proud to support and uplift the next generation of developers, creators, and entrepreneurs with the Swift Student Challenge. Since it launched in 2020, the global Challenge has given thousands of student developers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and coding capabilities through app playgrounds, and earn real-world skills that they can take into their careers and beyond.
You can view the eligibility requirements here, as well as instructions on how students can build their app playground that can be experienced in 3 minutes, focused on a topic of their choice. Students can continue exploring learning resources and tools like Swift Playgrounds and Xcode to brush up on their coding skills, and learners can also dive into coding Today at Apple sessions at their local Apple stores.
All the best!
