Apple spotlights young developers ahead of WWDC

One day before Apple CEO Tim Cook takes the stage at the company's annual World Wide Developer Conference, Apple's top executive mingled with a much smaller gathering of developers inside the Steve Jobs Theatre.

Unlike the typical developer conference crowd, this crowd of 350 consisted mainly of teenagers who balance app development with homework, studying, and applying for college. The group were recipients of Apple's WWDC scholarships, a program that gives students and members of STEM organizations from around the world the opportunity to attend Apple's developer conference.
