WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2016 Congressional App Challenge has opened to Maine high school students.
Students have until Nov. 2 to develop and submit their own smartphone apps. The winning app from each of Maine’s Congressional Districts will be chosen to receive national recognition.
Students can participate as individuals or in a team of up to four. The apps can cover any topic. In addition to the app, students must submit a three- to four-minute video explaining their app and how it works.
A panel convened by the Maine Technology Institute will judge the submissions. They will be judged on: creativity and originality of the app idea; user experience and design of the idea’s implementation; and quality of coding and programming.
Winning apps from each district will be displayed and recognized at an event in Washington, D.C. The Internet Education Foundation coordinates the competition
