Apple has announced the Swift Student Challenge 2025. This challenge will take place for three weeks in February 2025.

Apple annually holds this event to provide students with a platform to showcase their creativity and coding capabilities. With this challenge, the tech giant aims to support and uplift student developers. Selected candidates will also get to meet and interact with Apple's best engineers and even its CEO, Tim Cook, at the company's headquarters in Cupertino. Students are encouraged to push the boundaries and develop their skills. Apple plans to help the students by introducing a new version of the Swift Coding Club resources.

The tech giant will be selecting 350 Swift Student Challenge 2025 winners. To win, the students will be judged on the criterions such as social impact, innovation, inclusivity, or creativity. Furthermore, from the winning pool of 350 students, 50 winners will be invited to head over to Apple's headquarters in Cupertino for three days. A year-long membership in the Apple Developer Program will also be rewarded to each winner.

Candidates must either be a member or be registered with Apple as Apple developers.

The students will also have to be enrolled in a top-accredited academic institution. This applies to official homeschool arrangements as well. In addition, the students will also have to be in a STEM organisation's educational curriculum. And lastly, the students must have graduated from high school or other equivalents all within 6 months. Students should also note that while this challenge can reward around four times a week, students are chosen only once as a Distinguished Winner.
