About the Competition
The Congressional App Challenge is designed to engage student creativity and encourage their participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education fields. This nationwide event allows high school students from across the country to compete against their peers by creating and exhibiting their software application, or "app," for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice.

The Congressional App Challenge is hosted by individual Congressional offices and sponsored by the Internet Education Foundation (IEF) nationally. The 2016 Congressional App Challenge will launch on July 18th and will last through November 2nd, 2016. Those interested in participating should visit the Congressional App Challenge website for more details.
