2025 Congressional App Challenge
The Congressional App Challenge is the official computer science competition of the House of Representatives. Since its inception in 2013, the Congressional App Challenge has grown to become the most prestigious prize in computer science. Over 70,000 students have participated in the Congressional App Challenge in seven years, with hundreds honored by their Members of Congress at the US Capitol annually.
Through October 30th, Members of Congress will be hosting a Congressional App Challenge for middle school and high school students of all coding skills. The Congressional App Challenge urges all students to enter the competition, as it encourages critical thinking and creativity for those of all computer science experience levels.
Students can code apps on any topic, for any platform, using any coding language, making this the perfect opportunity to display your coding skills or learn something completely from scratch. What that means, is that you can submit a robot, mobile app, website, wearable device, or anything you programmed to the Congressional App Challenge.
Students are eligible to compete in the Congressional District they live or attend school in. Additionally, you can compete in a group of up to four students, as long as ½ of the team lives or goes to school in the same Congressional district.
Additionally, any app coded after October 24th, 2024, is eligible for submission. That means any app that you did last school year, over the summer, or a part of an extracurricular program is eligible for submission!
I hope you’ll consider getting involved in the challenge this year. To name just a few of the benefits:
- It looks great on a college resume and shows that you’re taking initiative outside of the classroom
- You’ll develop a real project which you use to demonstrate your coding skills
- There’s hundreds of winners every year, giving each student an amazing opportunity to win a national competition. Check out all the projects that won last year
