Al Lawson (Fl-05) is proud to announce Florida's 5th Congressional District App Challenge winners are Tallahassee School of Math and Science students Liam Tolia, Issa Allison, Atianda Broadnax and Zoie Gray. The Congressional App Challenge's mission is to inspire, include and innovate efforts around STEM and computer science education. The app, Future Beans, was created to help enlighten children on the skill of coding while providing an interactive experience in the form of a 2-D tactical game. Each winning student will also be awarded $250 in Amazon Web Services credits, and their work is eligible to be featured for one year on the permanent display in the U.S. Capitol Building and on the House.gov website. The Congressional App is a great chance for our students to work together on challenging and creative coding projects, Rep. Lawson said. I am excited to recognize Liam, Issa, Atinda and Zoie for their work on creating this fun and engaging app. I look forward to seeing where their hard work takes them in the future. In spring 2020, Tolia, Allison, Broadnax and Gray will showcase their apps to members of Congress and members of the tech community at #HouseOfCode, a reception in Washington, DC. Their work is eligible to be featured for one year on permanent display in the U.S. Capitol and on the House.gov website. More than 5,000 students coded original apps as part of the district-wide competitions hosted by their members of Congress.
