Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (TN-01) issued the following statement announcing the 2022 Congressional App Challenge for students in Tennessee's First Congressional District:

"This nationwide competition is an opportunity for students to show off their STEM skills by creating an application (also known as an "app") for platforms such as a desktop, tablet, smart phone, or other devices! I strongly encourage East Tennessee students at all skill levels to register to participate," said Congresswoman Harshbarger.

Any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or "block code" is acceptable. A student may only submit one app entry and can register as an individual or as a team of up to four eligible students. An app coded after November 1, 2021, is an eligible entry. A full list of rules is available here.

To participate in the challenge, middle school or high school students can choose to work individually or in groups of up to four students. Participants may create and submit their own app for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of their choice.

Students are encouraged to register online before submitting their completed app by November 1, 2022.
