The visit is scheduled for next summer in the northern hemisphere (between June and September) and the winners will be able to talk to Maçã engineers. All winners will also receive a one-year subscription to the Apple Developer Program.
On initiative Programming for Everyone also received news. Now, students will be able to participate in four new projects, designed to encourage them in their first steps into the SwiftUI universe and improve their skills.
The four new projects available include:
Create a simple app: Students can create an app prototype in Keynote to learn the basics of app design, practice rapid prototyping, and gather feedback, following the same steps as professional developers.
Create with stacks and shapes: Students can take their first steps in developing an app in Swift Playgrounds and program a selfie or artwork using SwiftUI to learn the basics of user interface design.
Create custom shapes: Students can take their app interfaces to the next level by designing a shape, learning how to plot coordinates, and programming custom shapes with SwiftUI and the About Me sample app in Swift Playgrounds.
Draw an app icon: Students can learn and apply app design principles to create a unique and recognizable app icon that conveys an idea, practice rapid prototyping, collect feedback, and upload the icon to Swift Playgrounds to include it in an app.
