“The Congressional STEM Competition is an excellent opportunity for students to explore new interests and build technical skills that will serve them and their communities well,” U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-12, said in a news release.
The app can be working or a fully-developed concept, and must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on April 30. Students must also provide a YouTube or Vimeo video explaining their app and what they learned through the competition.
The challenge is open to ninth- through 12th-graders who live in the 12th Congressional District. The competition aims to foster an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, while encouraging young people to pursue careers in these fields.
To enter, students must register at http://studentappchallenge.house.gov/ and create an account on www.challengepost.com.
Anyone interested in serving on the panel can contact Allison Beresnyak at 412-837-1361 or [email protected]. More information is also available at Rothfus.house.gov/STEM.
