                        Thursday, April 11, 2024

  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.
