Dear Teacher, Middle/High School Students and Families,

I hope this email finds you in a great space.

I’m reaching out to invite you to participate in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge within our district.

The Congressional App Challenge is the official computer science competition of the House of Representatives. Since its inception in 2013, the Congressional App Challenge has grown to become the most prestigious prize in computer science. Over 30,000 students have participated in the Congressional App Challenge across 340 Congressional Districts in 50 states and five U.S. territories. This year, we are pleased to announce that we will be participating in the 2022 Congressional App Challenge. 

Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke in collaboration with NYC Councilmember Rita Joseph will be hosting a Congressional App Challenge for Middle and High school Students of all coding skills in the 9th Congressional District. The Congressional App Challenge urges all students to enter the competition, as it encourages critical thinking and creativity for those of all computer science experience levels. The deadline for completing your registration and submission will be November 1, 2022, at 12 PM. 

Help us encourage our students to be involved in this transformative initiative this year. In congressional districts around the country, educators have assigned the program as extra credit, implemented it as a part of their curriculum, or assigned it as a summer project. To learn more about the rules, and more, you can visit their website here.
