Congressional App Challenge
Each year, the House of Representatives hosts a nationwide competition that encourages middle school and high school students to learn to code and inspires them to pursue careers in computer science. Each student will create and exhibit their software application (app) for a mobile or computer device on the platform of their choice. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code."
Middle and high school students attending a school within Missouri’s 1st Congressional District are encouraged to apply. Students can register individually or in teams of up to four people.
If you are interested in participating in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge, register here starting on June 15, 2022. Submissions are due November 1, 2022 at 12pm EST.
The winning app will be featured on the House.gov website and the CongressionalAppChallenge.us website. Winners are also invited to Capitol Hill where they showcase their apps to their Representatives in a celebration called #HouseofCode. During #HouseOfCode, students get the chance to see their apps displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building, meet their Representatives, and connect with other talented coders across the nation!
