In 2022, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Juan describes his winning submission.

I decided to create an app to help people who have attempted suicide or are thinking about attempting suicide and have other mental health issues the ability to get the proper help and support that they need. My app uses MapKit to show the user places around them where they can receive counseling and other services. It also provides resources like phone numbers they can call, like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and also text lines like the Crisis Text Line.
