About the Competition
2014 marks the first annual Congressional Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Academic Competition, the House App Challenge.” This new competition was designed to engage student’s creativity and encourage their participation in STEM education fields. This nationwide event allows high school students from across the country to compete by creating and exhibiting their software application, or “app,” for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice.
The 2014 competition is closed. Entry guidelines and an information/release form for the 2015 competition will be posted in early 2015.
