The U.S. House of Representatives has announced the launch of the third annual "Congressional App Challenge” (CAC) designed to encourage all students nationwide to use their creativity to inspire new apps for a mobile, tablet, or computer devices in the Congressional Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Academic Challenge.
The "Congressional App Challenge" is now open to all students in New York's 8th Congressional District. Students participating must submit their app source code between 12:00 PM Eastern Time July 18, 2016 and 12:00 PM Eastern Time on November 2, 2016. Included should be a YouTube/Vimeo video explaining the app itself and what they learned through this competition.
