Dutch Ruppersberger | R000576 | ruppersberger.house.gov | legacy | (Timonium, MD) Are you a tech-savvy high school student who dreams of being the next Mark Zuckerberg? Have an idea for the next Candy Crush or Instagram? Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger is inviting area high school students to compete in his second annual Congressional App Challenge. The academic competition, which is open to all high school students who reside in Marylands Second Congressional District, requires students to create an original software application for mobile, tablet or other computer device on a platform of their choice. The challenge is part of a national effort established by the U.S. House of Representatives to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) innovation. Winners will be selected by a panel of local judges and their apps will be featured on display in the U.S. Capitol building with other winning entries from around the country. Experts believe the U.S. may be short as many as 3 million high-skilled workers by 2018 so a smart student knows that many of the jobs of the future are in the STEM fields, Congressman Ruppersberger said. If we want to maintain our countrys competitive edge, we have to invest in our youth today and help them hone these necessary skills. This contest is a great way to do that. The deadline for submissions is January 23. More details on submitting a contest entry, the rules of the competition, and helpful programming resources for both students and teachers can be found on Congressman Ruppersbergers website, www.dutch.house.gov. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
