The Congressional App Challenge is a nationwide event intended to engage students’ creativity and encourage their participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. This is an opportunity for students to compete with their peers by creating and exhibiting an original software application (also known as an “app”). Students may compete as individuals or in teams of up to four, as long as at least two of the teammates reside or attend school in the Fifth Congressional District.
Middle and high school students are encouraged to register online by November 1, 2021. The apps will be evaluated by a panel of local judges who work within the academic, software, and entrepreneurial fields. The winning app from each Congressional District which hosted a Challenge, will be featured on the U.S. House of Representatives’ website (www.house.gov) and displayed in a U.S. Capitol exhibit.
