Dear Friends,
Do you have an idea for an app you want to share? I am excited to invite you to participate in the annual Congressional App Challenge. This competition will engage your creativity, passion, and curiosity for science and technology.
2017 winner Erika Pilpre created “Observe!,” a game designed to improve memory skills. Erika said her goal for the app was to help ward off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Authorized by House Resolution 77 and based on the Congressional Art Competition held since 1982, this competition is a nationwide event that allows you to compete by creating and exhibiting a software application for mobile, tablet, or computer devices on a platform of your choice. If you win the competition you will have your app displayed in the U.S. Capitol and will be invited to the #HouseofCode Demo Day Reception, where you will have the opportunity to share your project with Members of Congress and the tech community.
I look forward to seeing your ideas translated into apps!
All the best,
U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier
