WAUSAU, WI – On May 23, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced that his office is accepting submissions for the 2023 Congressional App Challenge. All middle school and high school students (6th-12th grades) in the Seventh Congressional District are encouraged to participate.
“The competition allows students to gain real-world experience in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics,” said Congressman Tiffany. “I look forward to seeing this year’s innovative Congressional App Challenge submissions.”
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 for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, Raspberry Pi, or other devices. My office accepts any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code."
The winner from the Seventh Congressional District will be chosen by a panel of expert judges and will be eligible to have their app on display in the U.S. Capitol. They will also be invited to Washington, D.C. for the #HouseOfCode celebration in the spring of 2024.
All apps must be submitted to Congressman Tom Tiffany’s office by October 20, 2023. For more information on competition guidelines please visit Congressman Tiffany’s website. For any questions, please contact Dylan Anderson at (715) 298-9344, or email Dylan.Anderson2@mail.house.gov.
