The Congressional App Challenge is designed to engage students' creativity and encourage their participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education fields, allowing students to compete by creating and exhibiting their software application, or "app," for mobile, tablet or computer devices on a platform of their choice. Computer science and STEM skills are essential for economic growth and innovation, said Congressman MacArthur. Our dependence on technology wont be going away anytime soon and we need to proactively inspire the bright minds of our technologically savvy students to pursue these crucial STEM-based skills. I am excited to see what inventive apps students in the Third Congressional District create to solve everyday problems and enhance our lives. The 2016 Congressional App Challenge submission period will run through January 15, 2016. Third Congressional District winners will be selected by a panel of local judges and announced on February 22, 2016. Winners will be honored by Congressman MacArthur and have their apps featured on a display in the U.S. Capitol building. ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
