Congressional App Challenge
2025 Congressional App Challenge
Each year, the Internet Education Foundation and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives sponsor the Congressional App Challenge to foster an appreciation for computer science and STEM education. The Congressional App Challenge is an annual nationwide academic competition for middle school (6th – 8th grades) and high school (9th – 12th grades) students to create and exhibit their software application, or "app," for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice.
Eligibility
The competition is open to middle and high school students who live or attend school in Indiana’s First Congressional District at the time of app submission. Students may compete in the district they reside in or the district they attend school in. Students may compete in teams of up to four people.
