WWDC 2023 will be held online from June 5 through June 9, with sessions and other content to be made available on Apple's website and in the Apple Developer app free of charge. There will also be a special in-person day at Apple Park on June 5 for randomly selected developers to watch the keynote, enjoy evening activities, and more.

The annual challenge tasks students with creating a Swift Playgrounds project, and Apple judges submissions based on technical ability and creativity.
