McCaul Announces 2025 Congressional App Challenge

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) announced the 2025 Congressional App Challenge — an annual competition that encourages students to learn coding by creating their own app. The challenge is open to middle and high school students in Texas’ 10th Congressional District through October 30th, 2025. 

"In our modern world, no skill is more important than technological literacy," said Rep. McCaul. "Education and student interest in STEM are essential for empowering the next generation to continue our nation's legacy as a technological leader on the world stage. I am proud to provide an opportunity for our youth to explore their interests in coding and look forward to seeing all the creativity Texas–10's students will bring to the table this year."

Background:  

Students may code on any platform, on any topic, in any coding language, in teams of up to four. Each app is graded on creativity, concept, and design. The winning app will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol and on House.gov, and winning students will be invited to a reception in Washington, D.C.
