Who is that girl Apple CEO Tim Cook spotlighted? Well, meet Aashna Narula

Tim Cook, CEO, Apple on Monday shared a video featuring young minds with fresh ideas. The good thing is a girl from New Delhi also made the cut among 350-odd students who have received scholarships this year to attend Apple Inc’s 11th annual Worldwide Developer Conference.

"Nothing inspires us more than fresh ideas,” Cook said in the tweet, adding meet a few of the 350+ talented #WWDC18 student scholarship winners! 

The video starts with a young student developer Aashna Narula, an MSc Computer Science student from Delhi University. Narula is working on an app called Let’s Shapify aimed at pre-school children. Her 5-year-old nephew named Kartik was her inspiration to create this app.  

"I did a lot of research before coming up with the concept of the app. Initially, I incorporated the idea of matching all the shapes on the screen with the correct shape. Soon I realised why not include both the things, shape and colour. So, I incorporated the idea of colours as well,” says Narula about her app that helps enhance a child’s observational and categorisational skills," Narula revealed to Indian Express.

Narula made the best use of Apple’s Swift coding language to create her app.  

Meanwhile, Apple's 11th annual WWDC kicked off on Monday in San Jose with the tech giant unveiling the latest version of its operating system for the iPhone and iPad, iOS 12, saying it would make older devices such as the iPhone 6 work better.
