The Congressional App Challenge is an official initiative of the U.S. House of Representatives that encourages middle school and high school students to learn to code, explore computer science, and build practical technology solutions for their communities. Each participating Member of Congress selects a winning app from their district, and winning teams are invited to showcase their projects to Members of Congress, staff, and industry leaders at the annual #HouseOfCode celebration on Capitol Hill.
A record number of 394 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives participated in the 2025 Congressional App Challenge. Over 13,800 students participated and over 4,600 original apps were submitted.
The 2026 Congressional App Challenge will launch in May with a submission deadline of October 26. Eligible students can pre-register for the competition now. Rep. Kim Schrier (WA08) is one of the Congressional Co-chairs of the 2026 Congressional App Challenge.
