Student success · 2026
From no Mac to Apple's global Top 350.
Apple's Swift Student Challenge is a worldwide competition: students submit original app playgrounds built in Swift and SwiftUI, judged by Apple on creativity and technical execution. In 2026, Apple named 350 winners from 37 countries, the largest pool ever. One of them learned to code right here.
Praneel Pandey
First-year, B.Tech, CSE
He didn't own a Mac. He built Blink Break in the Apple Lab and Apple put it in the global Top 350.
Starting from zero Swift knowledge, Praneel learned on Apple's curriculum through the Swift Coding Club, got hands-on in the Apple Lab, and built Blink Break, an eye-movement-controlled game in Swift and SwiftUI. The final month was 10 - 12 hour days. Total time from first line of code to a global Top-350 submission: roughly five months. He earned an official Apple certificate for the achievement.
