Susan Prescott:Swift学生挑战赛是一个让全球学生展示创意编码技能的平台,不限主题和经验。今年的挑战赛吸引了来自38个国家的350名获奖者,展现了全球性。编码是一种强大的表达方式,可以用来改善世界。我每年都被学生们的创意、热情和技能所震撼,他们的作品展现了真实的 purpose。 Amy Key:我开始编码是因为生病在家,有了更多自由时间去学习学校课程以外的东西。Swift是一种直观且简单的编程语言,拥有许多优秀的内置框架和美观的UI设计。我创建的App Chiron旨在为帕金森病患者提供全方位的支持。未来,我计划去斯坦福大学深造,并继续发展我对技术的热情。我认为人工智能是一个强大的工具,可以帮助开发者创建代码,并自动化流程,改善用户体验。 Omar Firdaus:我大约在9或10岁时开始编码,通过YouTube上的Python教程入门,这帮助我弥补了技能差距,并构建了自己的作品。Swift Playgrounds让我能够看到视觉演示,更容易理解我所制作的内容,这比Python更好。我目前参与机器人项目,并担任编码负责人,学习新的模型和技术来构建机电一体化和机器人。我创建了量子计算机模拟应用Cubic Quest,旨在弥合量子计算学习的技能差距。我希望通过一个交互式模拟,让人们能够通过放置不同类型的门电路来操纵不同类型的比特,从而更好地学习和理解量子计算。未来,我计划继续参与机器人项目,并更多地参与App开发,特别是使用Swift,并开发更多基于人工智能的项目。
