Congresswoman Grace Meng is holding a congressional app competition for local middle and high school students in her district.
The “2017 Congressional App Challenge” is part of a nationwide challenge by the House of Representatives where students compete by creating an exhibiting an app for mobile, tablet or computer devices.
The winning app in each congressional district will be featured on the House website (www.house.gov) and displayed in an exhibit at the U.S. Capitol.
The deadline to enter is November 1 at 12 p.m.
Participants may compete individually or in a team of up to four students.
Each student must submit a video of their app and explain what they’ve learned from the competition. All entries must be original in concept, design and execution.
The winner of the contest, judged by a panel of experts, will be announced by the end of the year.
“This contest is a great opportunity for Queens students to highlight their technological skills and show the rest of the country how much tech talent exists right here in our borough,” Meng said.
