Congressional App Challenge 2025

 

Each year, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts the Congressional App Challenge. This is an annual coding competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding and an opportunity for 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.

The winning App from the 7th Congressional District may be put on display in the U.S. Capitol Building for one year and will be featured on the House of Representatives website. Winning students are also invited to the #HouseofCode Capitol Hill Reception in Washington, D.C.  Runners-up will also be selected for recognition.   

 

Congressman Kean hosted his annual Congressional App Challenge recognition event on February 19, 2026. There, he recognized the top winning team, as well as seven students who received Honorable Mentions for their apps.
