Scholarships

Jared 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 Jared describes his winning submission.

I designed and developed a drum machine utilizing Swift, SwiftUI, and AVAudioEngine, allowing users to produce their own music! The application enables users to play preset sounds on a 2x4 drum pad grid and record their compositions in any desired tempo or number of bars. Additionally, they can seamlessly loop and play back their sounds. The app also includes an interactive tutorial on the basics of rhythm and beat production.
