Winners of the WWDC 2022 Apple Swift Student Challenge are beginning to receive their free AirPods Pro and other Apple swag as their reward for winning the annual coding contest.
Apple each year poses a “Swift Student Challenge,” which allows developers to showcase their skills by creating a Swift playground. The projects are reviewed by Apple and a number of winners are selected to receive various prizes and perks.
2022 winners have begun receiving the prize packages and have taken to Twitter to brag a bit.
