Scholarships

Alessandra has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2021. Here is the submission that got her there.

In 2021, applicants were tasked with building an interactive playground to showcase their creativity and technical abilities. Here’s how Alessandra describes her winning submission.

My Playground is about my black hair. When I was growing up I had very few black persons to look up to and how the scarce representation of black folks in media and around me molded my way of seeing myself. I drew myself in stages of my life using: straight hair, braid hair and afro hair.
