Bullhead City, AZ - Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), announces the following information regarding the start of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge:

Registration is now underway for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge. The competition is open to all middle school and high school students who live in Arizona’s Ninth Congressional District.

The annual competition is designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding. Students can register for the 2025 competition by clicking HERE and begin coding their apps. The competition deadline is October 30, 2025.

Officially launched by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, this nationwide effort allows students to compete with their peers by creating an application or “app,” for mobile, tablet, or computer devices.  Since its inception, the challenge has inspired over 40,000 students across all 50 states to code for Congress.

The winner from the Ninth Congressional District, chosen by a panel of expert judges, will be featured on CongressionalAppChallenge.us, and the winning app will also be on display at the U.S. Capitol for a year, honoring the winners from across the country.
