Apple has just announced its WWDC 2020 date, and has consolidated everything to happen on June 22nd for what will be a virtual conference.
As usual the conference will make use of the Apple Developer app as well as videos on Apple.com. Also with this announcement comes news of a Swift Student Challenge. This is for student developers to show their coding skills by creating their own Swift playground.
Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering offered the following comment:
Students are an integral part of the Apple developer community, and last year WWDC saw attendance from more than 350 student developers spanning 37 different countries. As we look forward to WWDC20, although our gathering will be virtual this year, we want to recognize and celebrate the creative contributions of our young developers from around the world. We can’t wait to see this next generation of innovative thinkers turn their ideas into a reality through the Swift Student Challenge.
Beginning today and though May 17th, student developers can submit to the challenge by creating an interactive scene in a Swift playground that can be experienced in three minutes. The winners who are selected will receive a WWDC 2020 jacket and pin set.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
