Jill Tokuda. \u201cThis year\u2019s Congressional App Challenge showcased talented youth with a passion for creativity in coding and technology, and their great potential for future careers in STEM-related fields.\u201d\n\nMazzy McCloud, an 11th grader from Island Pacific Academy, earned first place for her app, \u201cCapitals Quiz,\u201d which she designed to test users\u2019 knowledge on capital cities around the world. She was inspired to create this app because of her own passion for geography and coding.\n\n\u201cCapitals Quiz is an interactive educational app designed by me to test users\u2019 knowledge about the capital cities of all the countries in the world,\u201d said Mazzy McCloud. \u201cWhen launched, the app presents the user with the name of a capital city and prompts them to correctly identify its matching country in a drop-down menu. The user then is immediately shown if their answer was correct or incorrect, helping them learn and refine their knowledge. After ten incorrect answers, the game concludes. It's a fun challenging game to test your worldly knowledge.\u201d\n\nDanielle Okimoto and Bostyn Tsukamoto, also enrolled in Island Pacific Academy, earned second place for their app, \u201cManor Escape Room.\u201d This app is designed for users to exercise critical thinking and deductive skills across multiple rooms filled with numerous challenges.\n\n\u201cThe app will be a way for people to use critical thinking and deductive skills across multiple different rooms filled with numerous challenges,\u201d said Danielle Okimoto and Bostyn Tsukamoto. \u201cOur target audience are any kids or even adults that just want to play a fun game when they\u2019re bored. They could spend an hour on it or five minutes. It will be an exciting and mind-jogging game that relays on the player to pay close attention to previous clues around the rooms. The difficulty level will be moderate to accommodate for the various age ranges that may play the game.\u201d\n\nThe Congressional App Challenge is an annual nationwide competition that allows students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to create an application or \u201capp\u201d for mobile, table, or computer devices.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:46:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://tokuda.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-jill-tokuda-announces-winner-congressional-app-challenge-second"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7611021175980568, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
