We are pleased to announce that we are participating in the 2023 Congressional App Challenge.

Officially launched by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, this nationwide effort allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application or “app,” for mobile, tablet, or computer devices. The Challenge is designed to promote innovation and engagement in coding and computer science.

Register and Submit

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all high school students in the 28th Congressional District of Texas. Students entering the competition must submit their app on CongressionalAppChallenge.us

Submissions will be judged by a panel of experts on the following criteria: quality of the idea, including creativity and originality; implementation of the idea, including user experience and design; and demonstrated excellence of coding and programming skills.

The winner from the 28th Congressional District of Texas will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us, and will be on display at the U.S. Capitol. This honor is awarded to all the winners from across the country.

Official pre-registration for the 2023 Congressional App Challenge is now open!
