Our office is excited to participate in the Congressional App Challenge. Every year, this nationwide competition allows middle and 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 App Challenge takes place every fall. Middle and high school students who live within Arizona’s Third Congressional District are welcome to participate in the App Challenge. Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four, with no more than four students are allowed to form a team.
