Congressman Bennie G. Thompson Accepts Participants to Join the Annual 2024 Congressional App Challenge
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson announces the start of the annual 2024 Congressional App Challenge. Students who attend middle or high schools in Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District are eligible to participate. The Congressional App Challenge is a competition aimed at getting students interested in computer science and coding. This nationwide effort allows students to compete against their peers by creating an application (also known as an “app”) for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, Raspberry Pi, or other devices. Students may use any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code." The winning App from my District will go on display in the U.S. Capitol and on the Congressional App Challenge website for one year, alongside other winners from across the nation. For more information, visit the website at CongressionalAppChallenge.us or email StudentSupport@CongressionalAppChallenge.us. You may also contact my Communications Director, Yasmine Brown, by email at Yasmine.brown@mail.house.gov or by phone at 202-225-5876. |
