Dear Friend,
Do
you like to code? Have an idea for a new app?
We’re
inviting students who code, program, or love computer science to design a
software application and enter it in the Congressional
App Challenge.
The
App Challenge encourages student participation in STEM subjects, so they can be
better prepared to fill the jobs of the future.
San
Diego has some of the best leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Our city has become a global force in innovation thanks to our investments in
these fields—and the most important investment we can make is in the next
generation.
You can compete as individuals or in teams of up to four. Submit
your app along with a short video explaining the app and what you’ve learned
throughout the competition process.
The entries will be judged by a panel of local judges, who work in San Diego’s academic, technology, and entrepreneurial fields. The winning app will be featured on the U.S. House of Representatives’ website and displayed in a U.S. Capitol exhibit along with the winners from other states and districts.
Submissions are due October 15, 2018.

Padraig
MacGabann of Coronado High School won last year with his impressive submission, Rescue, an emergency response app designed to contact first responders more efficiently and to provide important details about the emergency.
I
look forward to seeing what apps San Diego students come up with this year.
Good luck, and happy coding!
