Dear Friend,

Every year, middle and high school students participate in the Congressional App Challenge.  This nationwide competition encourages students to learn how to code by creating their own applications, allowing students to showcase their skills in programming and computer science while supporting the next generation of STEM leaders.

Students can register TODAY for the 2024 Congressional App Challenge and start coding their apps now!  The competition deadline is October 24, 2024 at 12:00 pm EST.

The winner will be eligible to have their app displayed in the U.S. Capitol, featured on the U.S. House of Representatives website, and will be invited to attend the #HouseofCode Capitol Hill reception.

1. To be eligible to participate in the Congressional App Challenge, you must be a middle or high school student at the time of app submission.
   
   
2. Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four.  No more than four students are allowed on a team. 
   
   
3. Students may compete in the district they reside in or the district they attend school in. 
   
   
4. If competing as a team, at least half of the teammates must be eligible to compete in the district in which they are participating in.
