Apple Announces 2026 Swift Student Challenge Application Dates

Apple is holding a special contest for students who like to code called the Swift Student Challenge.

If you are a student who likes making apps, you can start sending in your ideas on February 6, 2026, and you have until February 28 to do it.

You need to create a fun and interactive program using Apple's tools, like Swift Playgrounds.

Apple wants to see your cool ideas that are creative and maybe even help people.

Some students who make the best projects will get special prizes.

They might even get to visit Apple's headquarters in California to meet the people who make iPhones and iPads and learn more about coding.

It’s a great chance for young coders to show off what they can do!
