I would like to congratulate Logan Apple from Millbrook High School on his victory in the 2016 Congressional App Challenge. Logan’s app, iSight, is designed to help people utilize their cell phone cameras to translate sign language in real time, helping break down speech barriers. His app can translate more than 150 signs around the world. Coding is becoming an increasingly valuable skill in today’s 21st Century economy and, after viewing these apps, I am confident the next generation in Virginia’s Tenth Congressional District will lead the charge as entrepreneurs and innovators. “Thank you to our judges who volunteered their time for the challenge: Dr. Scott Martin of the Computer Game Design Program, Troy Murphy of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, and Sandra Chin of Hyperdoc Link.” To view Logan’s app in action, click here. The Congressional App Challenge will invite winners from across the country to showcase their apps to the Members of Congress and members of the tech community at #HouseOfCode, a DC-based reception to be held in April of 2017. Their work will be featured for one year on the permanent display in the U.S. Capitol Building, and on the House.gov website. Winning students will also be awarded a portion of $50,000 in credits, generously donated by Amazon Web Services. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
