Congressional App Challenge

Student sign-up for the 2023 Congressional App Challenge is now open. Eligible students can register and submit their apps through 12:00 PM EST on November 1st, 2023. Register here. Please find additional information here. 

Congressman Neguse will also be hosting his annual App-a-thon. The App-a-thon is an opportunity for students who would like to participate in the Congressional App Challenge to meet with coding professionals to get helpful tips and tricks, get feedback on your app before submitting, and to learn more about where a career in STEM can take you. Interested individuals can register for the event here. 

Officially launched by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, this nationwide effort allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application (also known as an "app") for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, raspberry Pi or other devices. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code." The challenge is designed to promote innovation and engagement in computer science. 

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high schoolers in the 2nd Congressional District. Students entering the competition must submit their app to CongressionalAppChallenge.us during the Competition Submission Period.

The winner from Colorado's 2nd Congressional District, chosen by a panel of expert judges, will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The winning app will also be elgible to be on display in the U.S. Capitol, honoring the winners from across the country.
