Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) is now accepting submissions for the 2024 Congressional App Challenge. All middle and high school students who reside or attend school within the Seventh Congressional District are encouraged to participate.

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 Seventh Congressional District to participate in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge,” said Congressman 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 provides students with an opportunity to compete against their peers and test their abilities in coding and computer science. The competition aims to help students hone their skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines while exploring new industries and future career paths.

Guidelines and regulations for participating in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge can be found online. A tool is available to determine if students reside or attend school within North Carolina's Seventh Congressional District.

All entries must be submitted no later than 12:00 PM EST on October 24, 2024.
