Congressional App Challenges are district-wide challenges hosted by Members of the U.S. House Representatives for middle and high school students to compete in the district they live or attend school in. Students can use any programming language and any platform. There are no limits on application, theme, topic! Students can participate in teams of four.
Winning teams are invited to Capitol Hill to demo their apps to their Representatives at a celebration called #HOUSEOFCODE.
