Dutch Ruppersberger today announced that an all-girls team of students from Randallstown High has won his fourth-annual high school \u201cApp Challenge.\u201d The academic competition, which is open to all high school students in Maryland\u2019s Second Congressional District, requires students to create an original software application for mobile, tablet or other device on a platform of their choice.\nThe winners \u2013 Aaliyah Philippe-Auguste, Re'Niya Avery, Saniya \u00a0Holmes and Adaora\u00a0 Umeadi \u2013 created an app called \u201cHealth Care 4 U\u201d that teaches users medical terminology through an interactive matching game. Over the course of several months, the 10th grade students learned computer coding, designed graphics, developed music and created a marketing and advertising plan for their game. Contest participants were required to submit a video demonstrating and explaining their app and what they learned through the competition process.\u00a0You can see the winning team\u2019s video here.\n\u201cI am particularly proud that this year\u2019s winners are all women, who are historically underrepresented in STEM industries,\u201d Congressman Ruppersberger said. \u201cTheir creativity and technical expertise is remarkable and I see bright futures ahead for each of them.\u00a0 If they are any example, our community will be generating impressive talent that will help our country innovate and create jobs.\u201d\nThe contest is part of a national effort established by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014 to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) innovation. Winners from across the country will be invited to showcase their apps to Members of Congress and members of the tech community at #HouseOfCode, a reception on Capitol Hill to be held in April 2018. Their work is eligible to be featured for one year on permanent display in the U.S. Capitol Building and on the House.gov website.
