We are pleased to announce that the Congressional App Challenge (CAC), a competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding, will be hosting our annual coding competition this year. Students are encouraged to register online and submit their app by OCTOBER 30!

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. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or “block code.” The Challenge is designed to promote innovation and engagement in computer science.

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all middle and high school students in the Sixth Congressional District of Arizona. Students entering the competition must submit their app to CongressionalAppChallenge.us during the Competition Submission Period with the deadline being October 30, 2025.

The winner from the First Congressional District will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us. The winning app will also be eligible to be on display in the U.S. Capitol, honoring the winners from across the country. For more information, please visit the official Congressional App Challenge website at STUDENT REGISTRATION –, or contact Chris Wiley of my District Office Staff at (480) 946-2411.
