Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21), Co-Chair of the Congressional STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Caucus, announced that Abi Gustafson and Andrew Meseck of the Northern Adirondack Central School District have been named the winners for the 2016 NY-21 Congressional App Challenge.

“I am excited to announce that Abi and Andrew’s winning entry will be showcased at the U.S. Capitol for visitors from around the world to see,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “The North Country is home to many gifted students and I thank all who participated in this year’s Congressional App Challenge.”
