Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) announced the start of the 2022 Congressional App Challenge (CAC). The CAC is a competition aimed at encouraging middle and high school students to develop an interest in coding by designing their own apps while highlighting the value of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. 

“The Congressional App Challenge is a creative way for students to develop their programing and coding skills,” said Congressman Bill Huizenga. “Programs such as the Congressional App Challenge are designed to help foster future interests in coding, which could lead to a student from West Michigan creating the next groundbreaking app. I look forward to seeing the apps submitted and how students utilize their skills.”

This competition is open to all students who meet the eligibility requirements, regardless of coding experience. Students of all skill levels are welcome to participate. Students are encouraged, but not required, to register online by August 1^st. Students participating in the CAC must submit their app by November 1^st.
