Congressional App Challenge

Every year, middle and high school students are invited to create a software application as part of the Congressional App Challenge. Each Member of Congress then selects a winner from their district, and all the winners gather in D.C. for a celebration.

You can see the app that won in NY-14 last year here.

Middle and high school students who attend a school OR live in New York's 14th Congressional District are welcome to apply.

Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four. No more than four students are allowed to form a team.

Students can pre-register here for the 2024 Congressional App Challenge and start coding their apps for 2024 using the link below. The competition will launch on May 1st and the deadline is October 24th, 2024 at 12:00 pm ET. Good luck!
