(cheering)
- [Justine] This is so exciting!
We're at WWDC 2019, it is registration day,
everybody is checking in for the big event
coming up this week and I am so excited.
Oh look, there's ice cream!
I got distracted by ice cream, but anyway.
(chanting)
I'm just joining in on the chant.
(cheering)
I'm not sure why they do this,
but it's a thing that they do.
(wooping)
So I'm joining in.
(upbeat music)
Oh my God!
Tim Cook is here.
I don't think, I don't think any of them notice yet.
- Hey guys, so we have one more special guest for you.
(cheering and applauding)
- WWDC has an awesome scholarship program
where 350 winners are chosen from applications
all around the world to attend the conference.
Over 75% of them are first time attendees,
which speaks to the huge adoption of Swift
and the Everyone Can Code curriculum.
It's expanding coding to so many more people,
and if you want to apply to be a potential future
WWDC scholarship winner, you just have to be a student
or a member of a STEM organization.
I'll put a link in the description so you guys
can check it out for more info.
This was so fun to witness,
these young developers getting a chance to talk to Tim
and show them the things that they've been working on
for the past year,
and in a few seconds I'm gonna get a chance to chat
with a few of these developers,
and see what it was like to meet Tim.
But first, I got to meet Tim, too.
- [Tim] Good seeing you. - Good luck, yes,
it was so nice to meet you, yes.
- See you tomorrow. - Yes, see ya.
- You all good?
- I think so! - Okay.
(upbeat music)
We're about to head into the scholarship picnics.
So he just told me this story.
You said you were like 15 - Yeah, yeah
when you first came across some of my videos.
Last year you saw me at WWDC on YouTube.
- [Student] I saw you at WWDC, yeah, and then I was like,
"I hope I see her this year, it'd be crazy,
"and if I did I'll get a picture."
And I did and it just happened.
- And we just took the picture!
- We got it on video. - That's so great,
have a great time, it was so nice to meet you.
We just met briefly.
Did you get a chance to see Tim?
Like, did you get to talk to him?
- Yeah.
- How was it?
- It was really great because there was moments that
he said, "Oh, guys, I'm leaving you."
And then I said, "Do you wanna see my playground with you?"
My submission, and he said yes.
And he, yes, it was amazing.
- [Justine] And what is the app that you created?
- Yeah, it's called "Clever."
It's like HQ Trivia.
- Oh, that's so fun!
- Yeah, a magic rush.
(funky music)
- So my name is Jothi Ramaswamy
and I created an app, Safety Pin.
- This is your third WWCP, you said?
- Yeah.
- So what's it like coming here for your third time?
- It's really fun, I love the conference,
I mean, I just love meeting different individuals
who code from around the world.
- Yeah.
So what is your app that you've created?
- It's called Safety Pin.
So essentially it just helps people
who are victims of sexual assault
seek legal justice.
So, during times of emergency it'll help them
record whatever's going on if they just shake the phone.
- That's not a light topic. - Yeah, it's not.
- So I think that is something that is very serious,
and with technology, you will be able to solve these issues
that previously were never even created.
- We actually have a website, thinksteam4girls.org
- I'm so inspired right now, like this is amazing.
So if there's any other girls out there, the time is now!
If you had any advice to give to women or girls
who are looking to get into coding,
what would be your advice?
- Do it, I mean, it might seem hard at first,
especially since it might be intimidating.
Just taking that one leap of confidence
and being that one girl,
you just feel more empowered yourself,
and then you might even be a role model
for other girls, encourage other girls
to feel confident in going into STEM.
- You're my role model, like this is so cool!
- Thank you! - Well, congratulations,
- Thank you so much! - Have an amazing WWDC.
- Thank you!
(upbeat music)
- This picnic is so great, because there's so many
incredible scholarship winners,
and I've got to meet so many amazing ones
and then I saw an ice cream truck, so.
Hi, can I get a vanilla?
What kind would you like, Tyler?
- [Tyler] Well, chocolate. - Chocolate?
And what kind would you like? - Oh, could I have chocolate?
- [Justine] Thank you!
- So while we wait for our ice cream,
would you like to introduce yourself to my YouTube friends?
- Sure, hi, I'm Lily Chen, I'm a sophomore from New Jersey.
So, I'm here at WWDC as a woman in tech activist,
and also an environmentalist.
- So how did you get into coding?
Was it just something that you always wanted to do, or?
- I've always been very interested in STEM.
I always did like Bat competitions, and I still do.
The past two years I just started coding,
started with like, Java and now I've branched off
to things like machine learning and data science.
(energetic music)
- This is so amazing.
- I'm Tanvi, I'm a junior at Cupertino High School,
and I'm working on an app called Aegis.
- I saw you talking to Tim earlier,
what was that like?
- It was crazy, like I was talking to
the other scholarship award winners,
and everybody started clapping,
and I was like "what's going on?"
And I turned around and it's him!
- I don't think any of them noticed yet.
(background mumbling)
- Look, you guys were all super focused on like,
just talking to other executives,
I'm like, when is anyone gonna notice
that Tim is standing behind them?
So it was really great.
And what's it like for you, you know,
of course, being in high school and getting to come here,
is this your first WWDC? - It is, it is.
- So, coming here, and getting to like, show your work
to people that work in Apple.
- It's really crazy, because I actually live
like right across from the campus.
Like seeing him is kinda like seeing my whole
like childhood, like it's like, whoa,
I see you every day. - [Justine] Yeah.
- It's crazy, like on TV,
and now I'm seeing you in person.
- You showed him your work today!
That's incredible, I was freaking out for you.
So what is the app that you've created?
- Yeah, so it's an app called Aegis,
and it means Athena's Shield.
I know that one of the biggest problems
on university campuses is safety,
for women and men.
Sexual assault is a really big deal,
and I really wanted to do something to like,
help aid that. - Yeah.
So I created this app that's basically
a buddy system for men and women to friend each other
and like, connect to each other
so they can get to destinations safely.
I started creating it at a hackathon.
- One of the greatest things that'll happen
to all you guys, and people in general
who have this passion, is, you see a problem
and you're like "I'm not just gonna stand by passively,
"I'm going to fix that problem."
- Yeah, I think that's the best part of being
like a programmer because if you don't have these skills
you always think like "there's something I should do"
but like, you don't know how to really handle it.
But when you have, like this kind of power,
there's so many things that you could do.
Like you could really create apps like this.
- I mean you really can do anything.
- Yeah that's true. - Which is crazy,
and I think that's the joy of programming.
You guys are the future! This is so cool!
Thank you so much for chatting with us, thank you!
- Thank you!
- Oh my goodness, hi! So nice to meet you!
So you were at WWDC first? - Yeah.
- You inspired her, so how did that all happen?
- Like, every year I watch the keynote
- [Justine] Yeah.
- And I saw Tim announce a girl who got in also,
and then I saw that I could apply also and I was old enough.
- He got in last year, and it was like,
I was jealous of him. (Justine giggles)
And I was just like "next year I'm going to get in,
and I'm gonna go with you."
- I didn't think you were gonna get in.
I started learning how to code after summer,
and he told me to use Udemy online courses.
So he helped me with that and I did it after school.
- That's really cool, - Yeah!
- So now you guys are both here,
are you guys working on apps together?
- We're gonna start working on one.
- Yeah. - That's really cool.
That's so much fun,
I work a lot with my sister too, so it's always so fun,
cause I feel like you guys kind of get each other,
and you don't have to say anything.
You're like, you know!
Congrats on your first WWDC. - Thank you.
- Congrats on your second one! - Thank you.
- This is so awesome!
Oh, I'm so excited to see what your guys create.
What are you most looking forward to, being here?
- Seeing more girl coders - [Justine] Yeah.
- And other girls who are just here,
cause I had to like, look through a lot of engineers
to talk to who are girls, there was only like,
two or three a year. - Really?
What would you say to other girls
that might be interested in becoming coders
or, you know, getting into programming?
What would be your advice to them?
- Just do it, I mean trying can't hurt.
- That's true, what would your advice to girls to do it?
- Just go online, look for resources,
and go learn, yeah. - Yeah, that's awesome.
I feel like that's my best advice too.
- It's really not that hard.
Everyone's like, "well how do I become a YouTuber?"
Like, you just do it.
The first step is the hardest.
Just go do something, make something.
- Yeah!
- Oh my gosh, it's so great to meet you guys!
- You too!
(uplifting music)
- Hi, I'm Matt, I'm a third time WWDC scholarship winner,
I work on eye tracking technology for IOS devices.
- Did you get a chance to talk to Tim Cook today?
- Yeah, it was great.
- I already knew that, cause I was there
and I was freaking out.
I was so excited for you,
like that was such an incredible experience.
And what was that like, getting to show Tim
what you've been working on?
- [Matt] I've made an app that lets your draw
just by moving your head.
So this is again for accessibility,
so helping people who can't necessarily
touch the screen, create art.
So I actually had Tim Cook play around with it,
and he created a whole painting by moving his head around,
which was really cool.
- I just had the most incredible time
getting to meet so many amazing scholarship winners.
Getting a chance to talk to them was honestly,
so surreal, because I actually started out
wanting to be a developer.
Like, I wanted to be a computer programmer,
I started programming when I was, maybe, like 12 or 13,
I made my own websites, and so I taught myself HTML,
and then shortly after that I went
and started learning Java, and CSS,
and then in college, I learned ActionScript
and I was doing Flash development
and all that kind of stuff.
But, the whole point of this is,
is when I started doing this stuff I was so young,
and to see people now, having this access to technology
and being able to come here and babble,
and show people what they're working on
is just such a surreal thing,
just for me to experience it through their eyes.
So to be able to come here and meet them
and talk to them and see the amazing things
that they're working on was so awesome.
I am so looking forward to WWDC this week,
and I can't wait to see what they announce.
But it is really amazing what Apple is doing.
So they have 350 scholarship winners that come here,
so you guys can actually be a scholarship winner.
So I am so excited that I got to experience this,
I also had to meet Tim Cook, which was a really
surreal experience, I wasn't expecting that at all.
Like, it was such a shock,
that my first words to Tim Cook were "I bought an iPod!"
I just got the pink Touch, it's great.
(laughing)
What?!
Hey, Justine!
You're gonna meet Tim Cook and you're gonna tell him
that you bought a pink iPod.
Okay, all right.
Well, I wish I could have a redo, but either way.
Being here and getting to meet
the future generation of people who are
changing this world was amazing.
So I look forward to being at WWDC,
and I can't wait to see what this week holds!
So, if you guys are here, make sure to say "hi!"
And, there are a lot of planes here.
And oh my gosh, there's actually,
all the scholarship people, are all coming out right now.
Jenna is here, and my friend Tyler
who is also helping me film,
so if you guys wanna follow them as well,
I will put those links also in the description
and any of the people I talked to today,
I will try to also put them there
so you guys can go check out their work.
Now, we're gonna go to the Cupertino Apple Store.
My phone was in my pocket, it's disabled
(laughs)
I kept hitting the wrong buttons.
- [Jenna] What did you do wrong?
- I don't know, it was in my pocket
so I kept hitting buttons.
You guys wanna go to the Apple Store?
- [Jenna] Which one?
- Either or both!
- [Jenna] Well, the one closes in 59 minutes.
- We should go there now. Do we go there now?
Should we go there now? I'll go there now.
- [Jenna] Isn't it far away?
- I don't know. - Let's go.
