The CAC was established by Congress to encourage young people to learn coding and to inspire them to pursue a career in STEM. Students of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in the competition, no previous coding experience is required. The App Challenge student submission portal is now open. Applications must be submitted by November 1st. The CAC accepts computer programs (or apps) written in any programming language (C, C++, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, “block code,” etc.), for any platform (desktop/PC, web, mobile, etc.). Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four students. Winners will be selected by a panel of Computer Science teachers in South Dakota and honored by South Dakota’s Congressional office. Winning apps will be featured on display in the U.S. Capitol and on the CAC website. “The Congressional App Challenge was created because Congress recognized the growing skills gap in the STEM field,” said Johnson. “South Dakota is home to so many young, bright minds – these same minds are critical to maintaining American competitiveness in the tech space. I’m looking forward to recognizing talented young coders and developers in South Dakota.” Winners will be announced in December.
