We’re thrilled to announce the Swift Student Challenge 2025. The Challenge provides the next generation of student developers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and coding skills by building app playgrounds with Swift.

We’ll select 350 Swift Student Challenge winners whose submissions demonstrate excellence in innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity. From this esteemed group, we’ll name 50 Distinguished Winners whose work is truly exceptional and invite them to join us at Apple in Cupertino for three incredible days where they’ll gain invaluable insights from Apple experts and engineers, connect with their peers, and enjoy a host of unforgettable experiences.

All Challenge winners will receive one year of membership in the Apple Developer Program, a special gift from Apple, and more.

Applications will open in February 2025 for three weeks.

We’ve created free Swift Coding Club resources so students can start clubs and work with peers who are passionate about app creation. Swift Coding Clubs use the new Develop in Swift Tutorials so students can learn the foundations of app development with Swift and beyond.  Learn more!
