2026 Congressional App Challenge

 

I am pleased to announce that my office is participating in the this year's Congressional App Challenge.

The Congressional App Challenge is a competition aimed at encouraging middle and high school students to learn how to code by creating their own applications. The Challenge is intended to highlight the value of computer science and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education.

The winner from Georgia's 2nd Congressional District will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The winning app will also be eligible to be on display in the U.S. Capitol, honoring the winners from across the country, and receive an exclusive invitation to attend the annual #HouseOfCode celebration and demo day at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

This competition is open to all students who meet the 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 starting on June 1st and submit their apps by 12:00 pm ET on October 26.
