Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | NEW ORLEANS, L.A. – Every fall the U.S. House of Representatives sponsors a Congressional App Challenge for America’s middle school and high school students to encourage them to learn to code, think creatively, and perhaps even inspire them to pursue careers in computer science. In his first year hosting this competition for students in his district, Congressman Troy A. Carter Sr.’s office received dynamic submissions from students across the district. After thorough consideration, today Congressman Carter has announced the first-place winner of Louisiana’s Second Congressional District 2022 Congressional App Competition is 11th grader Srija Tamidela of Westwego, Louisiana. Ms. Tamidela’s application is titled WesIgn and gives users the opportunity to explore and embrace their cultural identity through art. As the district-wide winner, Ms. Tamidela will be invited to Capitol Hill to demonstrate her application at a celebration called #HouseOfCode. At this annual event, students will also have the unique opportunity to have their app displayed and connect with other coders across the United States. Ms. Tamidela will also be invited to the celebrate with the Congressman’s office in the district to recognize her achievement. “Thank you to all of the wonderful applicants and coders who entered my office’s 2022 Congressional App Challenge,” said Congressman Carter. “A special congratulations to first-place winner Srija Tamidela, whose app uplifts our rich, local culture by teaching users about different art styles and introducing them to New Orleans artists and culture bearers. I am so impressed by the creativity and innovation displayed by all of our app creators, and I cannot wait to see what they achieve next.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
