Congressional App Challenge

I am pleased to announce that my office is hosting a 2023 Congressional App Challenge!

This is a competition aimed at encouraging middle and high school students to learn how to code by creating their own applications. It’s intended to highlight the value of computer science and educational fields such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). I hope to shine a light on the growing importance of these skills by encouraging and recognizing our nation’s young programming talent.

This competition is open to all middle and high school students who meet Kansas Third District eligibility requirements, regardless of coding experience. We strongly encourage students of all skill levels to participate, enabling them to learn how to create their own apps. Students are encouraged to register online. Apps are due by November 1, 2023.

The app will be judged by a panel of professionals from the computer science and STEM education fields during the month of November. The winner of the 2023 Congressional App Challenge will be announced on December 11, 2023, during Computer Science Education Week. The winner will be featured on the House.gov website, the CongressionalAppChallenge.us website, and presented with a certificate of achievement.
