Apple is proud to support and uplift the next generation of developers, creators, and entrepreneurs with the Swift Student Challenge. The Challenge has given thousands of student developers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and coding capabilities through app playgrounds, and learn real-world skills that they can take into their careers and beyond.
Submissions will open on February 3, 2025 for three weeks.
From connecting peers to mental health resources, to identifying ways to support sustainability efforts on campus, previous Swift Student Challenge participants around the world used their creativity to develop apps to solve real-world problems. We encourage you to brainstorm and develop thoughtful ideas for apps that address important issues in your community and beyond.
Dream, draft, and organize ideas for your app playground, download what you’ll need to make your vision a reality, and start building!
We’ll select 350 Swift Student Challenge winners whose submissions demonstrate excellence in innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity. From this esteemed group, we’ll name 50 Distinguished Winners whose work is truly exceptional and invite them to join us at Apple in Cupertino for three incredible days. All winners will receive one year of membership in the Apple Developer Program, a special gift from Apple, and more.
