WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Greg Pence, who represents Hancock County in the U.S. House of Representatives, is encouraging students to participate in the Congressional App Challenge, in which members of Congress host competitions for students in their district to code an original app.

“The Congressional App Challenge helps students express their innovative minds,” Pence said in a news release. “This is the most prestigious challenge in student computer science, and I can’t wait to see who participates.”

Students in the 6th Congressional District can submit an app through Oct. 19, and the winning programmers may have their app displayed in the U.S. Capitol. For more information and to sign up, visit congressionalappchallenge.us.
