Scholarships
Aiden has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2024. Here is the submission that got him there.
In 2024, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. New for 2024, 50 Distinguished Winners were recognized for their outstanding submissions and invited to Apple in Cupertino. Here’s how Aiden describes his winning submission.
My Swift Playground, Heartbeat Hero, is designed to be an easy to use and accessible CPR training application designed to be an interactive method of learning to perform CPR on both children and adults. I wanted the experience to not only be educational, but memorable and interactive. I wanted to really try and replicate the actual experience of performing CPR by measuring the depth and rhythm of presses or claps using tools like ARKit and AVFoundation to bring this to life
