“iPad has revolutionised my approach. It’s awakened a passion within me for learning that I never had before.”
Suresh is a dual major in science and business whose iPad helped change his approach to learning. Find out how he incorporates curiosity and creativity into his process.
Samuel Suresh creates his own study guides with GoodNotes 5 on his iPad.

“iPad puts me in control of my learning. It helps me discover that learning isn’t just a fixed process. It is malleable and adaptable — a reflection of the way my mind is thinking.”
While you may not be able to tell by looking at his notes and study guides, Samuel Suresh used to hate studying. But once he began to infuse curiosity and creativity into his process, Suresh discovered that iPad was the perfect tool to help him evolve from simply studying to truly learning.
“iPad allows you to try things you’ve never done before, to make mistakes and magically rectify them with the tap of a finger. That changes everything!”
The versatility of iPad supports Suresh’s varied learning style. He multitasks across apps with Split View, uses Apple Pencil to create notes with detailed diagrams, and relies on apps like GoodNotes 5 to bring it all together in beautiful personalised study guides that help crystallise what he’s learning.
“iPad empowers you to own your learning. To take the knowledge you're studying — whether it be from textbooks, videos or lectures — and make it your own. It’s made me fall in love with the process of breaking down what I’m learning and building it up again in the visual notes I create.”
Suresh believes iPad helps him embrace curiosity and creativity in his learning process, taking control of his education and breaking free from linear textbooks and classroom walls.
“Curiosity is a chaotic, erratic process that goes all over the place. It doesn’t fit the traditional classroom. To students who are curious but feel limited by the process of ‘studying’, iPad unlocks their minds to a process where they can truly learn and express their creativity.”

“Gen Z is innovating how
voices are shared.”
Learn how Lim-Chan is using iPad and Apple Pencil to create web comics that tell stories from marginalised communities.
Elle uses iPad Pro and Apple Pencil with Procreate to develop expressive, artistic comics.
Elle or ‘L’ Lim‑Chan
Studying MFA in Comics
California College of the Arts, class of 2023
“Animation is my first love, and telling meaningful stories is my passion. Bringing those together on iPad is a magical process.”
With their insightful, thought-provoking works, California College of the Arts MFA student Elle Lim-Chan is using iPad to transform traditional comics into inclusive experiences that comment on culture and identity.
“Storytelling often creates experiences for those around us based on our own experiences and values. For queer and trans people, actively shaping a space for ourselves is particularly relevant, but it has been harder to do.”
A non-binary, first-generation American, Lim-Chan’s mission was first inspired by the experiences of their Chinese South African parents, who immigrated to the United States during apartheid. Earning a degree in anthropology from Stanford University and participating in San Francisco’s arts scene gave Lim-Chan the foundation to begin telling their own meaningful stories about society.
“The underground comic scene has always been a place for hearing trans voices, but it has been limited by distribution. iPad Pro and Apple Pencil enable me to create and publish zines with QR codes that can be shared online.”
Apple technology powers Lim-Chan’s ability to bring together creative art and narrative to develop web comics. “Apple seamlessly supports and encourages self-expression, which is really important to me.”
“I love having different screen sizes for different levels of engagement,” they say, using MacBook with Photoshop for design work, and iPad with Procreate for illustrations and sketching. “And with Apple Pencil’s responsiveness and organic feel, I’m not missing anything from a traditional pen or pencil.”
After graduation, Lim-Chan intends to use their portfolio to progress their career as a freelance artist working across multiple mediums — a testament to how Apple products can open new opportunities of creative freedom.
“There’s nothing more impactful than being your authentic self,” they say. “This is even more important for queer and trans people, and involves even more creativity and bravery and confidence to inspire others.”

Turn ideas into apps with Swift.
Swift is a coding language that’s easy to learn and used by developers everywhere. And no matter your level, Apple has resources to help you advance your coding skills.
“Swift is such a natural language — I can create a great app in an afternoon!”
Vega is a mechatronics major who is building engineering solutions on Mac to support space exploration. Find out how he’s using Xcode and Swift with ARKit to create apps that are out of this world.
José Manuel develops his own iOS app with Xcode and Swift on his MacBook Pro.
José Manuel Vega Hernández
Studying Mechatronics Engineering, Universidad Panamericana, class of 2023
“I believe technology is here to help us solve any problem. I want to develop apps that make a positive change here on earth and beyond.”
Ever since he saw the reverse landing of a SpaceX shuttle as a teenager, Vega has been fascinated by rockets and space. This propelled him to join Misión Colibrí, a space program at the Universidad Panamericana, which aims to launch a nano-satellite into orbit to collect data and take on the space debris problem.
Getting a satellite off the ground requires funding, so Vega is developing a native iOS app, also called Misión Colibrí, to attract sponsors and drive public interest. “We want to encourage Mexicans to create more space technology, and inspire kids to study these topics and pursue these careers,” he says.
Using Xcode and Swift with ARKit on Mac, Vega is building an iOS experience that allows users to get a detailed and holistic view of the nano-satellite on iPhone and iPad. Plus, with augmented reality and real-time telemetry, the satellite can be “blown apart” to reveal its inner workings along with the data it has collected.
“Swift and Xcode help you create something incredible in minutes. They are very powerful and intuitive,” Vega says. He began coding in secondary school but didn’t discover the Develop in Swift curriculum and get certified until he landed in an iOS Development Lab in college.
Vega’s passion for Mexican aerospace exploration doesn’t stop there. He’s committed to designing apps that help communities and inspiring youth to do the same.
“I want to leave a mark, help people and make the world — and beyond — a better place.”
