Student sign-up for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge is now open. Eligible students can register and submit their apps through 10:00 PM MT on October 30th, 2025. Register here.
Officially launched by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, the Congressional App Challenge allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application (also known as an "app") for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, raspberry Pi or other devices. This nationwide effort is designed to inspire creativity, encourage hands-on learning, and promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education by engaging students directly in computer science and coding. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code."
The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high schoolers in the 7th Congressional District. Students entering the competition must submit their app to CongressionalAppChallenge.us during the Competition Submission Period.
The winner from Colorado's 7th Congressional District, chosen by a panel of expert judges, will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The winning app will also be elgible to be on display in the U.S. Capitol, honoring the winners from across the country.
Please contact (303) 274-7944 for any questions or further information.
