Recently, I was thrilled to kickoff the Congressional App Challenge with students at City High School in Iowa City. This competition, which is open to all high schoolers in the Second Congressional District over the age of 13, is a great way for students to engage in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields and is an opportunity for interested students to try their skills at something new!
Even students who have never created an application ("app") before can find resources to help them build one step-by-step through this website. Students can create their app for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice, and can work in teams of up to four students as long as two of them attend high school in the Second District.
I encourage you to forward this email to anyone who you think might want to participate in this exciting competition - click here if you are not sure which Congressional District you live in. I look forward to seeing what new apps our students submit - the winning app will be featured on the U.S. House of Representatives' website (www.house.gov), and displayed in a U.S. Capitol exhibit. For more details, you can visit www.congressionalappchallenge.
Sincerely,
