“WWDC20 will be our biggest yet, bringing together our global
developer community of more than 23 million in an unprecedented way
for a week in June to learn about the future of Apple platforms,”
said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide
Marketing. “We can’t wait to meet online in June with the global
developer community and share with them all of the new tools we’ve
been working on to help them create even more incredible apps and
services. We look forward to sharing more details about WWDC20 with
everyone as we get closer to this exciting event.”
“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,” said Craig Federighi,
Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “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.”
Swift Playgrounds® is a revolutionary app for iPad® and Mac®
that makes learning the Swift programming language interactive and
fun. Now through 11:59 p.m. PDT on May 17, student developers from
all over the world can submit to the Swift Student Challenge by
creating an interactive scene in a Swift playground that can be
experienced within three minutes. Winners will receive an exclusive
WWDC20 jacket and pin set. For more information, visit

and more — will be shared in June. Information will also be made
available on the Apple Developer website and by email.

apps that influence culture and change lives.
