Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, as Co-Chairs of the Congressional App Challenge, Congressman Ted Lieu and I would like to include in the Record the winning students and their apps from the 2023 Congressional App Challenge.

The 2023 Congressional App Challenge saw 11,334 students from all 50 states and territories submit applications this year. Collectively, these students created 3,645 fully functioning apps. The Congressional App Challenge in its nine years has seen over 58,262 students create 16,589 applications. With 374 Members of Congress, nearly 84 percent of the House of Representatives hosting an App Challenge in their district, this year marks tremendous success and growth of the program. We look forward to continue to celebrate the success of these students here in Washington, D.C. at #HouseOfCode on April 10th and 11th.

The 2024 Congressional App Challenge launches on May 1, 2024, and concludes on October 24, 2024. The 2024 Congressional App Challenge marks the 10th consecutive App Challenge since its start in 2015. As Co-Chair of the Congressional App Challenge, I am excited to continue to support the program and its students at this milestone moment. Please join us in celebrating the program, and all our student alumni on September 17th for National App Challenge Day.
