Congressional App Competition

I am pleased to announce that my office will be participating in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge (CAC), a competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding.

Officially launched by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, this nationwide effort allows students to compete with their peers by creating an application (also known as an “app”) for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, raspberry Pi or other devices. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code." The Challenge is designed to promote innovation and engagement in computer science.

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high school students in the 33rd Congressional District of Texas. Students entering the competition must submit their app to CongressionalAppChallenge.us during the Competition Submission Period through October 31st, 2022.

Submission Rules:

To be eligible for the App Challenge competition, you must:

1. Be in either high school or middle school.
2. Live or go to school in the 33rd Congressional District of Texas (You may check   your home or school address here).
3. Limit your group to 4 members. At least half of the students must live or go to school in Texas' 32nd Congressional District.
4. You may create any application you want, on any platform, using any programming language, but the app must be appropriate, original, and created within the calendar year prior to this Challenge Closing Date.
5. Sudent applications must be submitted by October 31st, 2022! 

The winner from the 33rd Congressional District, chosen by a panel of expert judges, 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.
