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 30,000 students have participated in the Congressional App Challenge across 308 Congressional Districts in 49 states and five U.S. territories. This year, our office is pleased to announce that we will be participating in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge. 

From June 24th to November 1st, Rep. Houlahan will be hosting a Congressional App Challenge for middle school and high school students of all coding skills in PA’s 6th district, which includes Chester County and Southern Berks County. The Congressional App Challenge fosters critical thinking and creativity for those of all computer science experience levels. 

We hope that you will encourage your students to get involved in this transformative initiative this year. In congressional districts around the country, educators have assigned the program as extra credit, implemented it as a part of their curriculum, or assigned it as a summer project.
