Congressional App Challenge seeking local applicants

Aspiring young software engineers and students with knowledge of mobile app coding are invited to take the 2023 Congressional App Challenge.

U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, R-Indiana, this week announced the challenge is open for middle and high school students in Johnson County and the rest of Indiana’s Sixth Congressional District.

“The Congressional App Challenge is an opportunity for students to expand their knowledge with hands-on experience and compete amongst their peers in a fun and rewarding way,” said Pence.

The Congressional App Challenge was first launched in 2016 by the House of Representatives. In the first five years of the Congressional App Challenge, the program has yielded 1,134 App Challenges across 49 states. Thousands of functional apps have been created by over 25,000 students, according to a news release from Pence’s office.

Prospective students must register and submit their app by Nov. 1 online at congressionalappchallenge.us/students/student-registration/.
