I am passionate about creating apps for macOS and iOS using the Swift programming language, as well as writing programs for Windows with C++ and Python. Also, I truly care about making education fun and accessible. Many of my projects are devoted to this topic, including my Apple's SSC-winning project.

Scholarships
Mariia has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2024. Here is the submission that got her 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 Mariia describes her winning submission.
What if programming concepts could introduce themselves? Imagine a function with a thick mustache or a variable wearing hippie accessories explaining their purpose to learners. In CodeCraft, the game where programming concepts are personified as robots, this becomes a reality. Variables, arrays, loops, and functions will gladly show you how they operate and interact. The game's accessibility features include high contrast mode, text-to-speech, speech rate regulation, and Ukrainian localisation.
