Walberg Invites Students to Participate in 2025 Congressional App Challenge

Today, Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) announced his office is accepting submissions from students in Michigan’s 5th District for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge. This nationwide contest encourages middle and high school students, individually or in teams, to create a software application on a platform of their choice. 

"Coding skills are in high demand in today's economy, and it is vital that we help prepare our students for future career opportunities," said Rep. Walberg. "I invite students to participate in this year's Congressional App Challenge as a fun opportunity to further develop their technical skills and showcase their creative abilities. As a strong supporter of STEM education, I look forward to seeing the innovative work being done by the talented and creative students in our district."  

The deadline to enter the competition is October 30, 2025, and then a panel of judges will evaluate the submissions and select a winning app. The competition is open to all students who meet the eligibility requirements, regardless of coding experience. The winner from Michigan's 5th District will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol and on the Congressional App Challenge website along with winners from across the country.
