Michelle Caliendo, 25, created “a memory game featuring anatomically correct pictures of dinosaur fossils that she drew in Procreate on iPad” after only learning Swift in September. Asmi Jain, 20, made a “playground to track a user’s eye movements as they try to follow a ball moving around the screen” that was inspired by her friend’s uncle and can strengthen eye muscles.
