Write it up front
First of all, I would like to thank wang Wang 🐶 and my friends who accompany me all the way, and of course, my lovely mother 👩. It is you who let me stick to it all the way. Without you, there may be no final success
I participated in WWDC for the first time as 1/350 Scholar in the world. I have never been so happy in my life. I usually sleep late to 8 or 9 o ‘clock every day, but this week I actually wake up at 5 or 6 o ‘clock every day. I get up early in the morning to listen to the session, go to the lab to chat with engineers, and then slip out to play everywhere in the afternoon. Of course, the whole WWDC is full of surprises 🤣 let’s record the whole process
Submit work
On March 15th, I slept in until 8 o ‘clock and found a message from KrayC, the winner of last year’s scholarship and also a big man in NANDA, that Apple officially announced the open enrollment of WWDC scholarship. Then I began to plan what I should do this year on a whim. At the beginning, I thought of using AR to make a special effect similar to Jarvis iron Man, but it was too difficult before I started, so I gave up. Later, I thought of introducing the universe or the evolution of stars. I had been working on it for two or three days, but I felt that if THERE was no bright spot in the finished product and I couldn’t understand what I wanted to express, maybe my idea was not perfect enough, so I gave up again. At that time, the deadline was less than a week away. When I was about to give up, I suddenly remembered that the scenes of No Man’s Sky and Everspace, which I had played before, were similar to flying a spaceship in space. Or Star Wars BattleFront🛸 (I have to say I love Star Wars BattleFront). So there is in the want to be able to achieve a similar simple open a small game, thanks to the previous learning of some knowledge about 3D game SceneKit framework, combined with easy to use ARKit, is going to do an astronaut 👨🚀 mission, call to their own spacecraft, and then go to the space station of a small game. After conceiving the story, I began to arrange the materials. I opened Everspace and turned on the highest resolution. I cut a picture of the spaceship 🛸 in the game and used it as the hull of the spaceship by using PS to remove the background
On display
In fact, it is just a simple AR game. The first chapter scans a horizontal plane, then calls the spaceship, the second chapter scans the vertical plane, the third chapter enters the space to begin to play the game formally. The actual production took about five afternoons and stayed up until four o ‘clock until deadline. In the preparation of all the data, press the submit button at that moment, uploaded a dozen megabytes of files, which is my efforts over the past ten days, finally can feel at ease to sleep 💤
You can find the source code for the project on my GitHub, or a demo video on YouTube.
The following is when the submission is complete
3.24 After the submission, I received the confirmation email, and there was no management. There was about 20 days for the review, during which I learned some other knowledge
The scholarship
March 16. I stayed up all night talking about the scholarship in my Discord group. At first, I was worried, but now I don’t care. A: I didn’t stay up till 6am, but rejected🤷♂️! Finally at six o ‘clock in the morning, can not boil, lie down to close my eyes for a while. When I opened my eyes again, just after an hour, I opened my mobile phone, email 📬, and pulled down to refresh…… All I remember is a little blue dot on unread mail:
Apple Developer You’ve been awarded a WWDC19 Scholarship.
One second before still sleepy of not good, after one second instant wake up, that since already come out result or sleep can sleep, however can’t sleep at all
Here are all the emails received before WWDC started
Of course, if you apply for Travel Assistance✈️, you will be contacted to confirm the tickets and finally get a complete Itinerary
There are also some other emails about the specific arrangement of WWDC🍎, which can be seen on the WWDC App (personally, it is more detailed on the official website, and the App is more convenient).
These include The SJSU check-in and check-out, Scholarship Kickoff, scholars’ Scholarship Lounge (a Lounge) during The Congress, and The Bash concert
Around the end of May, the WWDC ticket 🎫 can be added to the Wallet, which is different from the barcode in previous years. The ticket with NFC in 2019 looks like this
Before leaving
Passport and visa are essential, of course. If you are in the United States, you need to apply for EVUS, which is also the most important. Visa or MasterCard credit card 💳 is also a must, of course, plus $200 or $300 💵 in cash for a Clipper card and other occasions where cash is needed. If you get off the plane in SF, you can take Bart to Millbrae and then Caltrain to the train station at McEnery Convention Center. You can navigate all the way through Google Maps
The place where Apple accommodates scholars 🛏 is SJSU(San Jose State University) dormitory. There will be blankets and bath towels, so you will also need to bring your own supplies.
Otherwise, bring your MacBook💻, of course, and preferably an iPad to use for demos, but mostly to play 🤪
Pudong airport 🛫️ to San Francisco airport 🛬️ or very long, at the beginning of the plane to sleep on the sleep, later just know as far as possible don’t sleep, so convenient jet lag. But the fact is that I stayed up one or two points at school and slept late until nine or ten in the morning. When I arrived in the United States, I was very sleepy at twelve o ‘clock and went to sleep directly. I woke up naturally at four or five o ‘clock in the morning and was very excited for the whole week 😆
The most beautiful thing you can see from a plane is the light at dawn, but without a camera, you can only make do with your phone, and what you see in a photo and what you see in person are completely different things
WWDC19
Day1
Stanford University
Arrived at THE SFO at 9:30 am and then with Jacky and Liulet, didn’t know how to take the train, just took an Uber to Stanford and spent the afternoon shopping
First go to the visitor Center to put your luggage, and then take a completely incomprehensible map 🗺, began to visit the campus
What impressed me most about Stanford is the beautiful campus. Studying abroad is out of the question, so it’s great to have a taste of the experience. Walking on the street, although the weather is very hot, but from time to time the face will blow a pleasant wind, always reminds people of the Stanford motto of the wind of freedom
Most of the buildings are in the style of 17th-century Spanish mission houses, with yellow walls and red tiles. Compared with the beautiful campus, what you can feel more is that everywhere is full of a thick and profound academic atmosphere
When I finally found a Cafe, I didn’t see any other restaurants. After hurrying all morning, I ordered some food in the Cafe
A Turkey 🦃️ avocado 🥑 mustard roll 🥴 taste amazing, ten dollars, but it is only ten yuan of the family, it seems 100 yuan is not cheap
Eat and continue to wander, this is one of the few selfie 🤦♂️
Coordinate: 37 ° 25 ‘122 ° 09’ 60.0 “39.1” N W
Then I went to the Leland Stanford Junior Museum
The display inside is also amazing, an art center, just a little tour
In the United States for so many days, we can say that the weather is super good every day, but it is hot, the temperature difference between morning and afternoon may be 20 degrees
Another auditorium
Later, I went to bookstore for a rest. There were all souvenirs and many booksto buy, but of course I could not afford to buy one hundred dollars a book 🤦♂️
There are many clothes in the same size as in China, but it is safer to try them on if you want to buy them. T-shirts are usually around $20, hoodies are a bit more expensive
The San Jose State University
Buy something to go to SJSU, compared to my university, SJSU is two people apartment type dormitory, downstairs swimming pool, plus everywhere is very good-looking, it is heaven
Lodging
The dormitory is located at Campus Village2
Dormitory can be said to live very comfortable, two people sleep, roommate is from Virginia, the United States, in his side also heard a lot of information, such as how to find the cook 👨🍳, but then the cook even a shadow did not see
I packed my bags and went out to find dinner. I didn’t know what restaurant I was in, but I could eat enough for ten bucks. After going in to see the menu is meng, don’t say order, there are more than half of the words on the menu do not know, so can only be very embarrassed This one… This one… . Later that waiter see I seem to be Chinese, gave me a pair of chopsticks 🥢 of course eat things taste good
After eating, I went back to rest. After sleeping 😪 at twelve o ‘clock, I woke up at two o ‘clock, woke up again at four o ‘clock, and woke up 😵 at five o ‘clock, but I felt not very sleepy. I just got up and prepared to go to the McEnery Convention Center, the main WWDC venue
Day2
Six o ‘clock in the morning, clean up and go out, out of the school gate to the venue on the road, the streets above is very empty, almost no what people, but I heard that there are a lot of people three or four have come to the queue 🤐 although last night sleep quality is very poor, but still abnormal spirit
Out of the school gate, across three streets, you can see the venue, I remember a group of staff wearing sky blue T-shirts at the gate. Asked the security guard, but also go forward, see the front do not know why, there is a small queue in the distance, because the time is not much, I will carry this bag to continue to go forward slowly. Until a black woman saw me and said, “Are U a scholar?” As I said yes, a crowd of people rushed to meet me. Two rows of people formed a corridor on the left and right, holding a sign for receiving our Scholarship. Then everyone cheered for me, clapping and screaming, just like a red carpet. The cheers went on and on until they got to the end of the line and started waiting. At that time the scene is too shocking for me 😆 unfortunately did not record, even if recorded, watching the video may be completely different from the real experience. But there’s a little bit at the back of the line. .
Then waiting for the queue, luck is better, in front of a few Chinese 🇨🇳 small partners, they chatted together. And within half an hour the line was as long as the eye could see. Wait until nine 🕘, the team began to move forward, finally can enter the venue. Before long, we lined up at the entrance to the lounge
Turn right down the stairs and you reach the lounge entrance
Scholarship Check-in
When checking in, just open the wallet and use the previous credentials. NFC is still super convenient. After he checked in, he gave a jacket, a T-shirt, and a couple of this year’s WWDC-themed pins, a magnet to pin to his clothes. There is a unique circle of Scholarship, and its own flag. And a pack of pins for this year’s theme. All the other pins are distributed all over the place and have to be collected yourself
Here’s a full achievement unlocked player, which is pretty cool to string around your neck
San José McEnery Convention Center
This is the Pass badge
There is also a group photo of all our Greater China scholars with 🇨🇳 flag 😉
After the photo shoot, I had breakfast, snuck out, and came back to the kickoff at noon
Apple Park
First stop, the legendary Apple Park, 🚗Uber used to cost more than 20 dollars, each time is more than 300 yuan, a little scary. Apple Park is not accessible, only a corner of ⭕️ can be seen on the street, of course, their security booth is also very Apple
Next to the Apple Park was a Visitor Center with lots of souvenirs to buy and a large table with a metal model of The Apple Park for an AR view of the Park with a custom-made iPad
Visitor Center outside, 11 o ‘clock in the morning, there was no one outside before that time
While the Visitor Center was not open, I walked around Apple Park
Here’s a blue Apple from Tantu Eight, plus a red apple 🍎 at Infinity Loop the day after tomorrow
Coordinate: 10900 N Tantau Ave, Cupertino, CA 95014
A walk around Apple Park didn’t yield much, except that Apple Park looked impressive from far away. The weather ☀️ is still super great, there is a long and narrow path in the north, along the walk, really comfortable. If you have the opportunity to experience the life of 🇺🇸 in the United States, maybe it will be another feeling.
When I came back, the Visitor Center was already crowded, so I hurriedly bought a T-shirt and went home
Scholarship Kickoff
I went to kickoff at Discovery Meadow. Last year, I gave away AirPods at the Steve Jobs Theater. This year, the venue was a children’s park next to the Steve Jobs Theater
Came to point meal link again, a circle eat car around, the most afflicting is, what point eat completely do not know is what, what Steak and do not know what thing 🤷♂️, anyway saw a beef, no matter as long as can eat on the line. Later eat good after take the hand to find that Google translation can not come out of the word is potatoes cut into small and then knead into a small ball fried 🥴 can eat on the line, in fact, to tell the truth this taste is quite good
Later in the children’s park ⛲️ play a whole afternoon. Ge Yue, vice president of Apple Greater China, invited us Greater China scholars to dinner tonight, more than 30 people in total. At the beginning of the speech, each one raised his hand at 🙋♂️ to show his work. Due to the bad light at that time, after their demonstration, I took the iPad in Liulet’s hand, really in 👋, to show Teacher Ge some of my Playground AR small game, and was also taken a photo. The Angle of mystery 😑 also chatted with the bigwigs all over the country later, as well as the Apple staff, including some media reporters, learned a lot of things
End of the second day 🔚
Day3
Keynote
I woke up early in the morning. Keynote, the main show of WWDC, was finally present at the scene for so many years. I felt like I was in a dream. He started at about six o ‘clock, and when he arrived at the venue, he was still waiting in line outside. It is said that he had breakfast in the venue, so he went hungry and waited until about eight o ‘clock…
Keynote starts at 10:00, and you can get in at 8:00 or 9:00. Keynote is in Hall2, which is a very, very, very large auditorium, big enough to accommodate over 7,000 developers who came to WWDC this year. At the door is apple’s breakfast, can be said to be very good
After breakfast, began to look for a vacant lot to sit down, while talking about the horizon line up. It won’t take long to get in. When I first walked into Hall2, I was really blown away
Scholar has a special place in the middle, so it can be said that the feed is very good. Hall2 seems to have three or four screens in total, with the largest one in the middle and a reserved space in the front of the largest one, followed by those for scholars.
It was a long wait at the beginning and the animation was super cute. This year’s theme is Write the code. Blow the Mind 🤯
After the last animation, it’s exactly ten o ‘clock. There’s a lot of applause, and then Tim comes out backstage and screams. The following is a list of WWDC details that are more complete than mine.
A distant shot of Tim speaking on stage
What impressed me most was the Goodnight Developers at the beginning. I was really moved.
And then when Craig released the new system
Tim: I didn’t listen very carefully. I just heard a new product. It’s the new Mac Pro. The sound in the venue is arguably the best I have ever heard in my life, another video that is hard to feel the atmosphere of the scene through the screen
Two hours later, keynote was over, Tim concluded and summarized, saying that I could connect the network cable to download the new system in the lounge later. Then I went out to get lunch and came back to work on the new system… The following is the daily lunch, to tell the truth, although I am used to eating salad 🥗 in China, BUT I have not been used to the salad here for a week in the United States, the taste of the first few days feel ok, the next few days it is difficult to describe 😖
As it turns out, most developers are reluctant to upgrade to the new system 😕 and regret it after actually trying it for themselves, it’s full of bugs and glitches
After the keynote, the Scholarship Lounge, which is also a lounge exclusively for Scholars, was opened. This afternoon stayed in the inside, is the only day that did not go out to walk 🔚
Day4
Continue to get up early to clock in, the weather is really great every day, especially comfortable.
A Fitness Center in SJSU
And the entrance to the school
After crossing several streets again, the entire wall along the road was painted with graffiti
Early morning at the San Jose Convention Center
WWDC Store
I heard that WWDC Store was open today, so I came to queue up in the morning. Unfortunately, I waited for three hours and still couldn’t get in. There was nothing to buy when I finally got in, and there were few things. After waiting in line for three hours, I finally made my way from the distant parking lot to the Lounge, where a horde of developers had already sat down to code…
In fact, no matter what to buy, really do not go to the queue, as long as there is a queue do not row. WWDC Store is open for several days. The first two days there is a queue for one morning, and the next few days there is no queue at all. But I was stupid enough to waste three hours in line on the first day.
Only bought a water cup, 40 yuan, is a treasure 30 yuan wallet mail vacuum cup printed with an Apple logo, true! Then! Appropriate! Ah!!!!! The thermos is also available at Infinity Loop, but didn’t know that at the time… The bottom line is, no matter what you buy, there’s really no need to wait in line
Mac Pro Studio
After buying, I went to the Scholarship Lounge to rest for a while. Yesterday, I booked Mac Pro Studio, the world’s first opportunity to get close to the new 🥔 grater, so I went to have a look after lunch, just across the street from the venue in San Jose Civic
From the moment of walking in, feeling into a wonderful world, only remember when listening to music knowledge a piano song 🎹 atmosphere really exploded, once again across the screen feel less than the atmosphere
The following is an untouchable 🥔 grater. The display on the left seems to cost five or six thousand dollars, not including the one thousand dollars bracket
In addition to the Mac Pro demo, there are hands-on demonstrations inside, including 3D modeling, Xcode programming, movie editing, creating music and more… .
Labs
After visiting Pro Studio, I went back to rest for a while, and then it was another highlight, Lab🧪
In the Lab, I can chat with apple engineers, and there are LABS with different themes every day. If I don’t go out to play, I will definitely study hard in the Lab. However, Lab still needs to prepare the questions to be asked in advance, and then go to the queue as early as possible, otherwise there may be a really long wait. This very large hall is also one of the few places where we can communicate directly with engineers of Apple. In addition, there is an App Store and UI Design Lab in the corner, corresponding to all questions of App Store, including shelves, application and so on. UI Design Lab will be able to discuss UI/UX Design issues with Apple designers. But the main word of Lab is to discuss technical problems with engineers. Here’s a corner of Lab Hall:
Each Lab is separated by a white wall, and if verbal communication is not enough, it can be written or drawn on the wall
On the same day, I asked an engineer about some technical difficulties of my App “Simple Reader”, and the engineer was very enthusiastic and explained them to me
Music on the Plaza
Later did not have what activity, evening in the venue gate square still have a concert 🎼 unfortunately in the United States not full 21 years old can’t drink, can silently look at others to get drinking bracelet. But anyway, the concert was great, you know
After the concert, I went back to my dorm, and the day was over
Day5
Activity Studio
I still got up at 5 or 6 o ‘clock. I heard that there was an early morning run at 🏃 today, so I decided to have a look. In fact, as long as the Events during WWDC are 🎡Special Events (you can find them on the official website), I will send a PIN with three small rings of the Apple Watch movement record. The venue is Activity Studio, which is not far away from the venue. There are also a lot of food there, but most of them are some weird food. For example, the ginger soda 🥤 didn’t care at first, only thought there was soda to drink. After drinking, he found something wrong 🤨. Then he saw the ginger😟 written on the bottle and was really shocked
I had no intention of running, but I was lazy, so I sneaked away when a large group of people started running and went to the meeting place to have breakfast
It was another beautiful morning listening to sessions and I fell asleep in the middle. Then I suddenly realized that these sessions can be watched online. Anyway, they are recorded 😬, so this is a reason not to study hard and slip out to play
Swift Strike
After listening to the session, when WE went to the Lab to collect stickers, the staff told us that there was ARKit pin, but this was the only challenging pin in the whole room. Because you need to win in AR Bowling Game, I was excited to experience this Game. I waited in line for about 45 minutes. My opponent was a female engineer who said she was from California and shook my hand warmly before the game started. However, I always felt that she was yielding to me. I easily won the competition and got the AR pin on the left side of the picture, and the pin on the right side of the morning run
Did not take AR game scene, just found an official photo to make do
A morning ended, when eating lunch, saw the Chinese Chicken Salad, this thought is the beginning of the Chinese Salad can swallow a little, and then after eating only to find that we may be false Chinese🤐
After lunch, I went out again. First, I went back to Apple Park Visitor Center to do some shopping
Infinity Loop
Then I took a cab to Infinity Loop♾, apple’s old headquarters, which I had only seen in photos, but I could finally see in person
There are 6 buildings in Infinity Loop, but I don’t know the structure of them very well
In front of each building there will be a large number, incidentally to some 🐶 gather together a birthday
🤦♂️ Since come all come, then again hot day also want to finish
1 Next to Infinity Loop is a Visitor Center, which is actually an Apple Store with souvenirs that are not available in general Apple Store, such as mugs, thermos… .
Of course, the Apple Store in Infinity Loop has to be something special
The inside of the shop is also very nice, but the overall footprint is not very large
Of course, there is also the historical significance of the blue apple powder apple mentioned earlier, two landmarks
Walk tired by the way to find a 6 rest, sitting in the office building 🏢, the office building is still very beautiful
I kept seeing people coming in and out of the door, but I wanted to go inside and see what the office building was like. After sneaking in, it seems that there is no attention to the counter, before he told us can not take photos 📷, has secretly taken a few
Because there is an access control in the inside of the door, enter the staff card to brush, so simply sit on the chair next to rest for a while. About half an hour later, the guy at the counter began to ask if we were waiting for someone. Since I couldn’t hear what he said, I didn’t reply, so he kept staring at us. The atmosphere was very awkward… . It wasn’t until he asked again that we went to tell him we were just hanging out… So, it was kicked out 🤷♂️
Continue the tour, and after a full circle, return to the place where we started, 1 Infinity Loop, and the iconic three flags 🇺🇸
After visiting Infinity Loop, I took an Uber, which was about 10 kilometers away by taxi. It took me about 20 to 30 minutes to get over 300 yuan by 🚖
I don’t have any special activities today. Go home early for dinner. Come to a Thai 🇹🇭 restaurant, eat a Combo, coconut chicken praise, really super delicious 😋 on the left side of the spicy beef is general
End of day 5 🔚
Day6
Today, there is another Activity in the Activity Studio. I looked at the schedule and did yoga 🧘♂️, so I sat down and prepared to experience it. Originally, I planned to experience it and run, but later someone took photos and videos there, plus everyone was doing 🤦♂️ seriously, so I kept on doing it. I didn’t understand what the people on the stage were talking about. I just followed the imitation of what the people next to me were doing.
I was aching all over after yoga, probably because my posture was so bad.
I sent a yoga mat, which I thought I would put back in the dormitory, but I carried it to the meeting hall for breakfast
After listening to session, continue punching Lab
UI Design Lab
WWDC is almost over, I envy others to make an appointment to the UI Design Lab, so I also tried, it is said that online appointment is difficult to be selected. But it’s ok, as long as you wait in line for an hour, it doesn’t matter if you don’t make an appointment online. This Lab is special. You may directly communicate with Apple Designer about UI design or UX and ask them to give you some suggestions, including optimizing your own App. After waiting for an hour, I got a notification on my phone that I was ready to go, and I finally got some first-hand advice from an Apple designer
It was about half an hour, although technically they said it was only 15 minutes, but technically. Here are some further suggestions from the two designers for my “Simple Reader”, which I will incorporate into the next update, including Dark Mode adaptation for iOS 13.
I am really very happy to get the first-hand advice ☺️ the two designers said that they appreciated the animation I used in the initial design of App interaction prototype, but because I was too poor, I did not realize the animation, it seems that I have to work harder. As a hint, Simple’s UI will get a major overhaul, and I will be redesigning the interface and interaction.
App Store Lab
Before going to the UI Design Lab, I stopped by the App Store Lab, where I could have face-to-face communication with the legendary Mysterious Review team of Apple. Originally, I went with another Scholar to ask him whether our App could be put on the shelves. The reviewer who received us was from Hong Kong. However, after I communicated with him later, I found that they were still reluctant to expose their App even in this place. Or in any way tell us some details about putting the approval App on the shelves, even though THE questions I asked were very detailed, what he could tell me was not very helpful.
Great Mall
Later took back three pieces of paper to save, the plan to continue to go out wave, today plan to go to outlets to see what to buy, but later found that in addition to Nike factory shop seems to have no what, and there is no special want to buy, but out wave wave is still ok
This time did not take a taxi 🚖 feel already can not afford to play, so did the public transport VTA, is a tram 🚃, compared to play can be said to be very cheap.
Come to the Great Mall, still a little far from the venue
Under the tram, next to the outlets, the mall is still quite big, there is a factory 🏭 shop, selling things price is still ok. What TEAVANA strawberry 🍓 Acia is actually freeze-dried strawberry and then add a little syrup sugar water
I didn’t buy anything for a long time, and I didn’t want to buy anything special, so I went back, there are good palm trees on the roadside 🌴
VTA
Great Mall stand
Next stop, Santa Teresa
Bash
Back home, Bash was almost there, with another concert at children’s playground 🎠, this time with rock bands
Similarly, there is wine to drink this time, there was only beer at the plaza before, and there is wine 🍷 champagne this time. Once again, I went to get a glass of ice kuo. That person also told me “Enjoy it”, which was a little uncomfortable
And, of course, delicious, waffle cones with chicken and mashed potatoes
It didn’t take long for Bash to start. Probably because we were all programmers, there was no music festival-like scene where everyone was having a good time. Most people just took out their phones and recorded 📹 or just stood still
Night time is really cold, cold terrible 🥶 was wearing short sleeves, the night is about 12 degrees, was freezing shivering, fortunately found a place to rest, in front of the stage, fortunately there are blankets, or really almost frozen to death. The rest of the above there are a lot of lights, in the evening is particularly beautiful I lay under the lights
Night view of the street when we return
And the VTA speeding by
See San Jose Civic again, feel the night view 🌃 more beautiful
Opposite is the venue, blink of an eye has passed six days, tomorrow will be the last day of WWDC. How time flies, I still don’t want to give up, I hope I can come again next year, haha, I can meet more friends
Day7
Session
Today, I did not get up so early as before. I feel that the excitement at the beginning has almost passed. The exhaustion that I could not feel before is now a little tired. I left the house around 7:00 in the morning, had breakfast and came to Hall3 to listen to session. I feel like I got up early every morning, had breakfast and occupied a seat in the classroom in my freshman year. However, now it is the listening session. This time, there are almost no people in Hall3 and most of the seats are empty, so I occupied a seat in the first row.
I feel like a freshman in high number class, but much more vivid than high number class, and In English. Another thing they have in common is that, despite their vivid presentations, they fall asleep for a few minutes in the middle.
After listening to this Advances in AR Quick Look session, we were photographed in the demo at the 16th minute 😪
After the session ends, there’s this classic closing slide that flashes.
Likewise, listen to session, take a break, and go to the Lab to collect stickers. After lunch, I decided to go to Google in the afternoon, which was the last stop.
When we first set out, we heard that the Discord group member said That Tim would be coming to take a photo with all the scholars at 5:30 p.m. today. We thought that Tim would be accompanied by AirPods, but when we returned that evening, we realized that we had overthought our expectations. Tim was not there either, and he had no headphones 🤷♂️
Took a taxi to Google, finally arrived at Google headquarters, continue to recharge the faith.
Google is still very open. Unlike Apple Park, which is surrounded by a big circle, you can hardly walk into it. Google’s office buildings are scattered and you can visit them at will.
The office buildings are not tall, but they are very nice and clean everywhere.
It was almost lunchtime and many of the employees were sitting downstairs in the square eating lunch
The office building here bears a slight resemblance to the one in Infinity Loop
Next to the building are Android’s “big” robots
Iconic bicycle 🚴 Colour matching A classic, I found myself riding my unlocked bicycle in the Merchandise Store and almost fell off
I stopped at Merchandise Store and took a taxi to visit NASA because NASA was nearby
NASA
Reality is not the same of NASA and the imagination, a thought has a very, very big museum or satellite launch base, the results arrived only to find that the so-called small poor museum, but also did not see the rockets 🚀 or satellite 🛰 ️ launch base or a spacecraft 🛸 may be I watch more movies
Just past the big AMES Conference Center, there’s a tiny museum, in the lower right corner of 👆 above
There are some broken planes behind this fence ✈️ that must be old
I went to the museum and paid $8 for admission. Although the museum is very small, there are a lot of things in it
There are also many models of small planes, which reminds me of Battlefield V for a long time
After visiting for about half an hour, I was ready to leave. I wanted to see if there were any souvenirs, but I couldn’t find the shop. I also saw a landmark of Carnegie Mellon University in NASA and wrote silicon Valley. I don’t know what it was
The general feeling is also nothing to visit, not come to play or quite good
At 5:30, there was no sign of Tim. Later, one of the scholars took the lead in organizing a group photo and said he would send it to us. However, after half a month, there was still no 🤷♂️
For the last time, goodbye WWDC
Back home, this week in the United States will be the end of the tour. Spent a night packing 🧳 the next morning early departure
Day8
Caltrain
I arrived at the San Jose train station in the morning with my suitcase, and the Fuxing was much better than the Caltrain.
I followed a Hong Kong kid, took Caltrain and went to SFO airport together. I ordered an American Chinese food at the airport, eggplant with fish flavor, sweet and sour fillet, and beef with black pepper. Taste can also, only to 16 knife, so much money I can eat 16 in the school canteen 🤦♂️
After saying goodbye to the children in Hong Kong, I went out of the customs and bought two boxes of chocolate for 🐶 🍫. Buy chocolate and get on the plane, goodbye WWDC, goodbye San Francisco……
Afterword.
The trip to 🇺🇸 in the United States has come to an end now. It took half a month to write this diary. In fact, there are still a lot of details in it. However, there is still a long way to go, continue to refueling!
