Among the thousands of developers who were on Monday, June 13 at the world conference starring Apple, there was one of them that did not go unnoticed since it was presented in partnership by Tim Cook at the beginning of his initial presentation (just after censoring the terrorist acts that took place last weekend in Orlando), as the youngest event attendee in WWDC history. And is that Anvitha Vijay is, at 9 years old, the youngest developed in the iOS ecosystem.
Anvitha Vijay She is an Australian girl of Indian origin, who started very young emerging in such a competitive world. At his young age, he is credited with 2 successful Apps and a very ambitious desire to create more and continue learning and improving.
Vijay attended the event thanks to the Apple scholarship program. She started from a young age, at the age of 7 and self-taught, watching videos and tutorials on YouTube. So, your first application, GoalsHi, built it over summer break and won a $ 10.000 prize on Australia's OzApp in 2015. Later, he created Smartkins in two different versions, Animals (with which to help children distinguish more than 100 different animals) and Rainbow Colors (to help the little ones to distinguish the colors), both applications interactive and educational for children.
"I want to be a successful businesswoman in the world"said Anvitha Vijay after the success of her first application.
The smallest protagonist of the biggest annual event created by Apple nevertheless claims that it took her a lot to learn the code, although once she learned it she was deeply proud.
I hope that the new application featured in this Keynote and many others like it help us to have more and more young people fighting for their future by doing what they enjoy the most. A great example to follow.
poor girl I should be playing and not competing to maximize profits
