Impressive Coding Skills Land Central
Student a Spot at the
Apple 2019 Worldwide Developers Conference
Anne Li, 16-year-old at Central High
School, is among 350 students who are attending the Apple Worldwide Developers
Conference in San Jose, CA after winning a scholarship from Apple. The
scholarship is the latest honor for Li, who scored a perfect 36 on the ACT last
year. In 2017, she won the Congressional App Challenge with an app designed to
remind parents to take their young children out of the car. After the Apple
conference, she flies to Northwest Arkansas for a tech internship at
Lowell-based trucking firm J.B. Hunt, the result of her team winning a high
school programming competition at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in
March.
Way to go, Anne!
