Rep. Sherrill Launches 2023 Congressional App Challenge

Parsippany, NJ – Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) announced today that her office is hosting its fifth annual Congressional App Challenge (CAC) for students in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District.

“The Congressional App Challenge is a great opportunity for NJ-11 students to be creative and practice their STEM skills outside the classroom. Whether they are coding exciting new games, creating study tools, or designing apps to address problems they see in their communities, NJ-11 students always submit impressive projects and I look forward to another great year!” said Rep. Sherrill. 

The competition is open to middle school and high school students who live or attend school in NJ-11. Students with all levels of coding experience are encouraged to participate. The CAC accepts computer programs (or apps) written in any programming language, for any platform (desktop/PC, web, mobile, raspberry Pi, etc.). The full set of eligibility rules for individual and team entries can be found at www.CongressionalAppChallenge.us.

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges from New Jersey’s 11th District and recognized by Congresswoman Sherrill. Their apps are eligible to be featured on display in the U.S. Capitol building, on www.house.gov and on the Congressional App Challenge website.
