(October 4, 2017) Congressman Steve Pearce announces the 2017 Congressional App Challenge, a competition encouraging students to get involved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities. Students will compete by creating and exhibiting a software application, or “app,” for mobile, tablet or computer devices. All students K-12 in New Mexico's Second Congressional District are encouraged to participate, even if they've never coded before. “New Mexico is home to some of the nation’s premier STEM research and development facilities. As a State, we must be doing all we can to assist and encourage the next generation to continue to lead in these fields. For the future success of our State and our children, young New Mexicans must become more involved in STEM education. The Congressional App Challenge is a unique and engaging way to encourage STEM participation. I hope schools throughout the District take advantage of this opportunity. It is a wonderful way to empower the youth of our State to create and develop new technology,” stated Rep. Pearce. Students who wish to participate must sign up and submit their app with demonstration video by 12:00 PM ET on November 1, 2017. There is no minimum age, however, students must not have graduated from high school to participate. Students can compete individually or in teams of up to four.
