Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of myself and my fellow Congressional App Challenge Co-Chair, Representative Zach Nunn (IA-3), I rise to congratulate 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 the U.S. territories submit applications. Collectively, these students created 3,645 fully functioning apps. In the nine years since its inception, the Congressional App Challenge has helped motivate 58,262 students to 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 continuing to celebrate the successes of these students here in Washington, D.C. at ``House of Code'' later this month.

The 2024 Congressional App Challenge launches on May 1, 2024, and concludes on October 24, 2024. I am thrilled to continue to support this terrific program and its students at this milestone moment. Please join us in celebrating the program, and all our student alumni on September 17, 2024 for National App Challenge Day.
