The Congressional App Challenge is a prestigious competition that encourages high school students to develop their coding skills by creating their own apps. It aims to connect today's Congress with tomorrow's coders, significantly increasing Congress' mentions of computer science and coding by 2,000%. The challenge is open to students from participating districts, offering them a platform to showcase their apps and potentially win awards. This initiative not only promotes STEM education but also aims to reach underserved, diverse, and rural student populations, making it an inclusive opportunity for students interested in computer science.
