Episode Synopsis "06: Pranav Karthik"

Welcome to another episode of Scholars in the Spotlight. In this episode we get to talk with Pranav, a 14 years old student from Canada who won the Scholarship on 2019 and the Swift Student Challenge 2020 with his submission "ExercisAR". We get to know how he came up with the idea, how he learned Swift and AR and his experience during WWDC. We also get some great tips for future students and we discuss about the features announced at WWDC. You can get the video version of this episode on this link. The WWDC Scholarship (This year named "Swift Student Challenge") is an annual competition organized by Apple where students from all the world compete for the chance to flight to California to attend the World Wide Developer Conference held usually at the start of June. The students have to send a project using the Swift programming language and the Swift Playground format developed on either the iPad app, macOS app or Xcode. The projects are accompanied by two or three 500 words max essays about the inspiration of the project and the technologies used. The selection process is usually a month long, in which Apple judges will see the submissions.
