Washington, DC ― Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-NJ-3) on August 5 issued the following challenge to students in South New Jersey:
Dear Friend”
Computer science and STEM skills are essential for economic growth and innovation. Our dependence on technology won’t be going away anytime soon and we need to proactively inspire the bright minds of our technologically savvy students to pursue these crucial STEM-based skills.
That’s why I am excited to challenge high school students in South Jersey to create and design an original app!
The Congressional App Challenge is designed to engage students' creativity and encourage their participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education fields, allowing students to compete by creating and exhibiting their software application, or "app," for mobile, tablet or computer devices on a platform of their choice.
