Scholarships

Xinyi has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2021. Here is the submission that got her there.

In 2021, applicants were tasked with building an interactive playground to showcase their creativity and technical abilities. Here’s how Xinyi describes her winning submission.

If you have heard of Rubik's Race before, you would probably know it is a fast paced game for two players to get their brains and fingers racing. I enjoyed playing this game a lot that I made this my WWDC submission, hoping to make the game more accessible and can be readily played anytime and anywhere people want to. Simple skills such as identifying color and movement was found to be essential in early cognitive development is an essential part of childhood learning, combing with Swift, Rubikat could teach children logical thinking abilities along with cognitive skills, all of these achieved by filling beautiful colors (and they are customizable) and straightforward demonstration from random shuffling.
