Congressional App Challenge submissions are due Oct. 30 for students in Florida’s 19th Congressional District.
The challenge was established in 2013 to engage students from across the country in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academic competition as a bipartisan effort. The skills of students are showcased through their efforts of both creating and exhibiting their software application (app) for their platform of choice — mobile, tablet or computer device.
To participate students must be either a middle school, or high school student and can either register as an individual, or teams of up to four. Students can only compete in the congressional district where they reside, or the congressional district where they attend school. For teams, at least half of the teammates must be eligible to compete in the district in which they participate.
All students must also be U.S. residents at the time of submission and there are no citizen requirements for students.
To register, visit congressionalappchallenge.us.
The judging period will be in November and the winners will be announced in December.
