Rubi’s project, “Help Out,” is a game that teaches personal responsibility in a fun and engaging way. Players complete challenges inspired by everyday responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking, or homework. Watch the student demonstrate her app here. “Congratulations to Rubi Johnson,” said Congressman Higgins. “It’s rewarding to see her use her skills to help other students learn the value of personal responsibility. Rubi is helping to make that happen, and I’m proud to see her dedication.” About the Congressional App Challenge The U.S. House of Representatives launched the Congressional App Challenge in 2015 to help encourage middle school and high school students to learn to code and inspire them to pursue careers in computer science. The Challenge is a nationwide initiative that allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application or “app” for mobile, tablet, or computer devices. Student teams divided by congressional district compete against each other, and the winning apps are showcased at the U.S. Capitol each year. | 1 | 2026-04-01T05:41:29Z | 2026-04-01T05:42:36Z |
