McEachin Announces 2020 Congressional App Challenge Winners | 2020-12-10 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | Senate | VA | A. McEachin | M001200 | mceachin.house.gov | legacy | RICHMOND, VA Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) today announced the winners of the Fourth Congressional District 2020 Congressional App Challenge. Jake Fulford and Will Sugden, both juniors at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, VA won with their application Metamusic. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot for our students, said Congressman McEachin. Music is such an important form of self-expression and an outlet for many during stressful times. I am proud of Jake and Will for creating a useful app for musicians unable to gather for normal practice this year. Metamusic is a thoughtfully-designed app and I am certain that Jake and Will have very bright futures in computer science. Metamusic improves the at-home experience of musicians by providing them with an accurate way to tune their instruments, know if they are playing in time with their piece of music, and make sure they are playing on their intended scale. We created Metamusic to empower musicians who were housebound due to the pandemic. The Congressional App Challenge not only gives us a feeling of validity but also reassures others about our future, said Fulford and Sugden. The Congressional App Challenge is an annual competition that acknowledges students for their command of computer science demonstrated by the creation of their own apps. The winning students will have the opportunity to demo their app, Metamusic in the Capitol Building next year.
