2014 Student App Challenge

ATTENTION:
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO Saturday, May 31st, 2014 AT 11:59pm.


Congressman Murphy invites high school students in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District to enter the Congressional 2014 Student App Competition.

The House App Challenge is designed to engage student’s creativity and encourage their participation in STEM education fields.  Established by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013, this competition is a nationwide event that allows 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.

Participating students will submit a video demonstrating their app's functionality and what they learned throughout development.

Submissions from the 18th Congressional District will be judged by a panel of industry professionals. The winning app will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a period of one year.


DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO Saturday, May 31st, 2014 AT 11:59pm.
