Congressman Russell Fry is excited to announce the 7th Congressional District’s participation in the Congressional App Challenge (CAC) for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.
All middle school and high school students from across the Grand Strand and Pee Dee are eligible to participate.
Congressional App Challenge
The CAC is a public effort to encourage students to learn how to code, through annual district-wide competitions hosted by Members of Congress for their district.
Established by the United States House of Representatives in 2014, this competition encourages students to create and submit their own app for the opportunity to receive national recognition. Students may participate as individuals or in teams of up to four. CAC winners may be eligible to have their app featured on a display in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC and will be honored by their Member of Congress.
Here’s how to participate:
1. REGISTER
Starting Thursday, May 1st, 2024, you can register at CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The Challenge will run until October 24th, 2024.
2. THINK OF AN APP YOU’D LIKE TO CREATE
Do you want to create a game? Do you want to create an app to solve a problem? There is no limit to what you can create for the Congressional App Challenge.
3. DESIGN YOUR APP
What will your app look like? What does it need to accomplish?
4. CREATE YOUR APP
You can work on your own, or as part of a team of up to four students. Find resources to help you on our website CongressionalAppChallenge.us
5. SUBMIT!
Submit your app any time before October 30th. Winners will be announced in December.
