Scholarships
Leonardo has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.
In 2024, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. New for 2024, 50 Distinguished Winners were recognized for their outstanding submissions and invited to Apple in Cupertino. Here’s how Leonardo describes his winning submission.
"This Is Not About The Cube" is a journey through grief, where each shuffle represents denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The cube's stages mirror emotions: chaotic denial, aggressive anger, bargaining for order, slow depression, and vibrant acceptance. With 3,674,160 possible states, the cube serves as a poignant analogy to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's proposed stages of grief, highlighting the complex and multifaceted nature of the human experience with loss.
