2022 Congressional App Challenge

The Congressional App Challenge is the official computer science competition of the House of Representatives. Since its inception in 2013, the Congressional App Challenge has grown to become the most prestigious prize in computer science. Over 30,000 students have participated in the Congressional App Challenge across 308 Congressional Districts in 49 states and five U.S. territories. This year, we are pleased to announce that Virginia’s Second Congressional District will be participating in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge. From June 24th to November 1st, Rep. Luria will be hosting a Congressional App Challenge for middle school and high school students of all coding skills in District. The Congressional App Challenge urges all students to enter the competition, as it encourages critical thinking and creativity for those of all computer science experience levels.

We hope that you will encourage your students to get involved in this transformative initiative this year. In congressional districts around the country, educators have assigned the program as extra credit, implemented it as a part of their curriculum, or assigned it as a summer project.

We look forward to seeing what you create!
