One Year // 10,000 Student Registrations
It\’s official! With ten days remaining for students to register, over 10,000 students from 48 states have registered to take part in this year\’s Congressional App Challenge. This is an incredible milestone for the program, nearly doubling last year\’s record participation. With over 300 Members of Congress hosting Congressional App Challenges in their districts, more than two-thirds of American students now have the chance to code for Congress this year.
Last year, the Congressional App Challenge made headlines when it reached its 10,000th registration since the launch of the program in 2015. Since that time, the program has seen over 15,000 students register to compete in the App Challenge, making this the largest student computer science competition in the world.
It\’s Not Too Late to Get Involved!
If you know a student who likes to code, be sure to encourage them to enter this year\’s Congressional App Challenge. This is their chance to win the most prestigious prize in student computer science. Interested middle and high school students from participating congressional districts can submit an application through November 1st! Don\’t let the student coder in your life miss out on this amazing opportunity to travel to Washington and code for Congress!
