Apple WWDC 2023 Swift Student Challenge: 20 year-old developer from Indore Asmi Jain among winners; Who is she?
Apple announces winners of WWDC 2023 Swift Student Challenge, including 20-year old Asmi Jain who developed an app to help users strengthen their eye muscles.
PremiumWe are less than a week away from Appleās annual developer conference that is scheduled to kick off on June 5. Days before the event, the Cupertino-based company has announced winners of Apple WWDC 2023 Swift Student Challenge. Among the top three winners is a 20-year old developer from Indore, Asmi Jain who used her coding skills to solve problems in the healthcare sector.
While at Medi-Caps University in Indore, Asmi Jain found out her friendās uncle had to undergo brain surgery. As a result, he was left with eye misalignment and facial paralysis. It is then Jain kicked into action and created an app playground designed to help users strengthen their eye muscles.
āIt was important for me to create an app playground that could positively impact the lives of people like him," says Jain. āMy next goal is to get feedback and make sure itās effective and user-friendly, and then release it on the App Store. Ultimately, I want to expand it so that it helps strengthen all of the muscles in the face, and I hope it can one day serve as a therapy tool that people like my friendās uncle can use at their own pace."
Along with Asmi Jain, other winners are 21-year old Yemi Agesin from the US and 25-year old Marta Michelle Caliendo.
Agesinās winning app playground is a first-person baseball game that alludes to two of his passions: sports and filmmaking. Heās currently writing a film about a baseball player that he will produce this summer.
āCoding gives me the freedom to feel like an artist ā my canvas is the code editor, and my brush is the keyboard," says Agesin. āFor my next two projects, Iām designing a sports game where you compete against other players in real time in a team setting. And Iām also planning an app that will use augmented reality to help filmmakers visualize their graphics and effects while theyāre shooting on iPhone."
Marta Michelle Caliendo has passion for paleontology and has won Apple WWDC Swift Student Challenge for developing a memory game app featuring anatomically correct pictures of dinosaur fossils that she drew in Procreate on iPad, made all the more impressive because she only learned Swift in September.
āI study the animals weāve lost to help protect the ones we still have," says Caliendo. āWe all have an opportunity to positively change things in the world, and I see technology and coding as the tools I can use to do that."
