Apple wwdc2022 will be held next Tuesday. This week, Apple also announced the winners of the swift student challenge in 2022, of which 21 were from mainland China. This year's swift student challenge invited students from all over the world to create a swift playgrounds app project with a theme of their own choice. We also interviewed six of the winning students and listened to them talk about the creative process of this competition.

Qian Yuxin's award-winning work three dimensional space
Qian Yuxin from Shanghai business school is a junior majoring in clothing and fashion design. Her award-winning work "three dimensional space", which is a puzzle game, builds a 3D world through the scenekit, and trains the experimenter in both logical thinking and spatial imagination.
Yuxin said that the inspiration of this work comes from "living". Because she found that many of her friends around her didn't have a very good imagination of three-dimensional space, she came up with the idea of creating a small game with swift programming language that is more interesting and interactive, so that the experiencer can exercise his spatial thinking ability in the game.
Qian Yuxin
As an interdisciplinary student participating in the competition, it is difficult to learn programming language from zero foundation. In the communication with Yuxin, she said: "at the beginning, my thinking is very emotional and will follow my feelings, but programming needs rational thinking logic. The switching between the two will be a bit troublesome for me." However, driven by her hobbies and with the help of the school community, she gradually mastered and mastered the swift language.
It was also a very special experience for her in the process of developing three dimensional space.
In the process of project development, the epidemic situation in Shanghai is the most serious. Schools are not allowed to gather, nor is there an environment like in previous years to prepare for the competition in the office or at home. When there are no questions, the online "network meeting" is the place for them to answer questions, and even some students use "remote control" to participate in the "competition" because the computer is not around.

Yu Xin also said that in the IOS Club of the school, there are students of various majors. He hopes that students interested in programming do not have to stick to their majors and try boldly.
"Compared with other students majoring in computer science, my advantage is that I am a little more open in thinking and spatial imagination. In addition, swift development is also a plus for students who are about to graduate to find" Yi "works! For art with the same conditions, I will be a little better at mastering swift development."
Listen to the vice presidents' introduction to IOS club
In the above, we also mentioned the IOS club. In order to prevent people from not knowing this community, let's first introduce it: IOS club is simply a developer team developing IOS platform apps. Club is Apple It is also the only officially certified IOS development club for college students, which has developed more mature in many domestic colleges and universities.
Among the winners this time, there are also two IOS Club vice presidents from different schools.
Wangyuxuan
Wangyuxuan from Jilin University shared with us that the IOS club is not what we imagined. The technology houses talk about technology or code together! If she is asked to use two keywords to describe the atmosphere of IOS club, it should be "active" and "sharing".

Before entering the IOS club, Yu Xuan knew nothing about Apple technology. After joining the club, the club teachers often encourage students to play and create. The seniors and sisters often share some new technologies and their own learning process of swift. Through these, she gradually established her understanding of Apple technology. This competition was also signed up with the encouragement of the community and students.
Wuyaoyao
Wuyaoyao from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications learned about IOS club through mobile Ying innovation competition and built IOS club in Beijing post. In the community, she shared knowledge about Apple's student activities and IOS development with her classmates, and also established links with IOS clubs in other schools. This year is also her second time to participate in the swift student challenge.

Advice for beginners
It is not easy for most non professional students to learn a computer language. Many people are deterred from the competition because they have not learned about IOS development and swift programming. What good suggestions do these winners have for novices to learn the swift language?
"My most sincere suggestion is to start doing it. Everyone will have a time to suddenly realize it."
Zhangbaizhen
Zhang Baizhen, a student from Tongji University, was also Xiaobai in IOS development at the beginning. Before he decided to participate in the competition, he self-taught Stanford's cs193p "IOS application development" course on the Internet. He had a preliminary understanding of IOS application architecture and learned a lot of skills in mode programming. Later, Han chose the IOS professional courses of the school to improve his programming ability through course assignments. When encountering difficulties, he can turn to the IOS development community for help.

"Get rid of the fear of program development."
Hanchubo
Hanchubo, a student from Beijing Jiaotong University, did not systematically learn swift development when participating in the competition. He completed his own app development work by learning while doing. Moreover, he said that with the launch of swift playground 4, swift development has become easier, which can be directly on ipad Learn, develop, and publish apps on.

"Exchange and learn more with developers to maintain enthusiasm."
Zhangyuanpu
Zhangyuanpu, from Northwestern Polytechnic University, found in practice that swift language is friendly to programmers, and it only needs simple code to achieve the perfect realization of UI design and animation effects. In the process of his study, they mainly adopt "learning while learning" and "operating while learning", trying to conceive how to use the grammar they have learned to assist in their normal learning and living; Try to read some books with pictures and pure words, so that you can intuitively see the effect and operation steps of the boundary; At the same time, you can keep your passion for programming by communicating and learning with developers.

Through the communication with the award-winning students, it is not difficult to find that the swift student challenge not only attracted students majoring in computer software, but also stimulated the interest of students who love programming in other majors. Through their works, we can feel the innovation, vitality and thinking of the current era of college students. At the same time, developers can also get new ideas and models of app development from the competition works.
Maybe WWDC has exceeded the meaning of "ordinary" competitions for the participating students. In the process of preparing for the competition, the participating students and their teammates cooperate, discuss and communicate with each other; Furthermore, the students learned the ways of teamwork and coping with difficulties during the competition, which will be their valuable wealth. In the future, I hope more students will participate in it and experience the unique charm of IOS development.
