Representative Adriano Espaillat has launched the 2024 Congressional App Challenge, an annual competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding.
This year’s competition is open to middle and high school students from New York’s 13th congressional district, who may register via the online portal to have their app considered by the October 24th deadline.
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 (also known as an “app”).
The Challenge is designed to promote innovation and engagement in computer science and accepts any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or “block code.”
The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high school students in the 13th Congressional District of New York.
The winner from the New York’s 13th congressional district will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us among winners from across the country.
For more information, please visit the official Congressional App Challenge website at CongressionalAppChallenge.us or contact Maximo Diaz, (212) 497-5959 or by email at Maximo.Diaz@mail.house.gov for more information.
