WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) announced details for the 2022 Congressional App Challenge for all middle and high school students in North Carolina's 7th Congressional District.

The annual competition challenges students to create an original software application.  The winner will be eligible to have their app displayed in the U.S. Capitol, featured on the U.S. House of Representatives website, and will be invited to attend the #HouseofCode Capitol Hill reception.

"I’m excited to invite students in North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District to participate in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge,” said Rep. Rouzer.  “This important program allows students to showcase their skills in programming and computer science and supports the next generation of STEM leaders.  I look forward to seeing their submissions.”

The Congressional App Challenge is an opportunity for students to compete against their peers and test their abilities in coding and computer science.  The competition provides students with the chance to hone their skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines and begin exploring new industries and potential future career paths.

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all students who reside in or attend school in the Seventh Congressional District.  Students may begin registering for the event today on the Congressional App Challenge website.  The deadline to submit an original app is 12:00 pm on November 1st, 2022.
