According to a press release from Representative Bryan Steil, on Friday he announced that registration for the 2022 Congressional App Challenge is now open to middle and high school students residing in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District. The Congressional App Challenge is a competition aimed at encouraging middle and high school students to learn how to code by creating their own applications. Started in 2013, the Challenge is intended to highlight the value of computer science and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education.
Congressional App Challenge applications can be submitted now through 11 a.m. CT, November 1, 2022. Should students not have enough time to create a new app before the November 1 deadline, a previously created app made after November 1, 2021, may also be submitted. However, the app must have been made between November 2, 2021, and November 1, 2022, in order to be eligible for consideration.
Apps will be scored by a panel of judges based on the quality of the app idea, implementation of the idea, and demonstration of understanding of computer programming skills. The winning apps will be honored by Steil and are eligible to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol building and on the Congressional App Challenge website.
To register, students may visit www.congressionalappchallenge.us and visit the “Student’s” Section.
