These skills will be essential to our young people as they continue their education and begin careers, regardless of discipline.\u201d\n\n\u201cEvery year, I look forward to seeing the innovative apps developed by students across the Sixth District. Whether coding is a passion or a brand-new interest, I encourage them to take advantage of this wonderful program,\u201d Emmer concluded.\n\nThe Challenge is open to all middle and high school students across the Sixth District. The winner from the district will be eligible to be on display in the U.S. Capitol.\n\nBackground:\n\nOfficially launched by the House of Representatives in 2015, the Congressional App Challenge allows students to compete against their peers by creating an app for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, or other devices.
