“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.

Western Sydney University, class of 2022
“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.”

“What would it look like if a Black girl could touch the stars? My mission is to introduce kids to the possibilities of art and science.”
See how Scaggs, an illustrator, photographer, writer and filmmaker, is using Apple technology and science to support a new generation of Black artists.
Scaggs uses iPhone to document activist and muralist Brandan Odums for her documentary film focused on Black Futurism.
Miya Scaggs
Studying for a Bachelors of Arts in Documentary Filmmaking and Minor in Physics
Spelman College, United States, class of 2025
“The lens through which we view the world composes our reality and affirms our identity.”
Born into a family of strong women, creators and storytellers, Miya is using the power of stories and her love of science to inspire a new generation.
Miya chose to study documentary filmmaking in Atlanta because “Black arts are emerging here, it’s the new Black Hollywood of the South and I want to immerse myself in that environment.” And she chose to minor in physics because Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’ inspired her to study how science can be applied to filmmaking.
Today, as a student at Spelman College — the oldest historically Black college and university for women in the US — Miya’s journey is guided on the discussion “of thought-provoking, Black female artists that haven’t been pushed to the forefront as much as their male counterparts.”
Her films and stories are rooted in art, science and Black Futurism — an emerging genre that addresses historic themes of the African diaspora with science and technology. Her documentaries explore the perspectives of thought leaders and artists in the Black community — as well as their journeys. And she uses Apple technology to support every aspect of her mission.
She’s interviewed a famous physicist, a renowned filmmaker and prominent artists on iPhone. She pulls the video into her Mac, edits with Adobe Premiere and designs audio with Logic Pro. “Mac has transformed my storytelling capabilities by becoming a conduit for editing sequences, sound design, and mixing and producing beats.”
As a recent director in Beats Black Creators Program — bringing HBCU students from across the US to imagine, look forward and collaborate on a film — she used her favourite workflow on Mac. This included the Celtx Script app for writing, the Pitch app for treatments and Notes on iPad for production. “Whenever I’m creating, it’s mainly about staying organised. Apple products streamline the creative process for me,” says Miya.
Miya tells even more stories through poetry. She creates illustrations on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and then pulls them into Notes to annotate her lyric poetry on top. “iPad has allowed me to create beautiful graphic designs while layering my pieces with multiple colours and textures for visual art and renderings.”
And for engineering mechatronics classes that focus on optics and sound engineering, she uses Notes on iPad to draw concepts and doodles, and Logic Pro on Mac with the Unity app for game design activities.
Currently at New York University’s film school attending an interstate program for a semester, Miya is broadening her sights and skills in storytelling — to inspire and empower other young girls and women, just as she has been uplifted by the women in her life.
“I want to provide more opportunities for young African Americans to hear from leaders and creators that look like them, people making a difference now, proposing the question, ‘What is Black Futurism…what’s next?’”

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.
“I want to develop apps and discover ways to help people improve their lives.”
See how Preenapun, a second-year medical student, combines research, creativity and Apple technology to discover solutions that improve public health and safety.
Gam uses Swift and Xcode on her MacBook to design apps that support safety and community wellness.
Gam Preenapun
Studying Medicine and Data Science
Chiang Mai University, class of 2026
“Technology today is part of every field, so understanding the fundamentals of app development is quite important.”
With a passion for research, data science and apps, Chiang Mai University medical student Gam Preenapun is determined to make a positive impact in her community by discovering innovative solutions that improve public health.
Gam was first introduced to the world of coding and Swift at a high school camp. Hooked on a new way to solve problems, she watched YouTube tutorials to teach herself the basics of app development with Xcode on Mac.
“MacBook is my favourite Apple device. I use it for all my coding, and it’s easy to use with Xcode. It’s stable, reliable and can run all day.”
Today, Gam applies her coding skills to develop app prototypes focused on health and wellness. One example is Girl Guard, a project she created using playgrounds in Xcode on Mac for women to help combat sexual harassment.
“I was inspired to develop this app concept based on hearing my friends’ stories, as well as my own personal experience and knowing how scary it can feel to travel alone.” Girl Guard includes features called ‘Fight Like a Girl’, which sounds a siren to call for help, and ‘Trustworthy Friend’, which simulates a conversation with others to help deter potential harassment.
Girl Guard has received positive recognition from Gam’s community, and was also recognised as one of Apple’s 2021 Swift Student Challenge winners. This feedback has reinforced Gam’s desire to focus her studies and passions on creating tools that promote wellbeing in society.
For med school, Gam loves using iPad for drawing and sketching her next inventions. She uses Apple Pencil with GoodNotes on iPad to bring anatomy and biochemistry notes to life, and Keynote to create compelling presentations that showcase her data research — which is focused on improving access to healthcare in rural communities across Thailand and beyond.
“My goal is to find solutions that help people at scale — to support a brighter future for today and future generations.”
