The US House of Representatives has launched the Academic Competition Resolution of 2013.
"This competition will serve as a unique opportunity for America's high school and college students in each Congressional District to showcase their capabilities, creativity, and innovative thinking," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), who supported the resolution. "I look forward to the success of the Congressional App challenge and to seeing the creative ideas of America's next generation of innovators."
As lawmakers and businesses seek to strengthen and grow the American workforce, the Congressional App Challenge provides a creative opportunity to motivate student interest in critical high-tech careers and cultivate the next generation of digital entrepreneurs.
