WAUSAU, WI β€“ Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced that his office is now accepting submissions for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge. All middle and high school students (6th-12th grades) in the Seventh Congressional District are welcome to participate. 

β€œIt is my pleasure to invite all middle and high school students with a passion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to participate in this year’s Congressional App Challenge,” said Congressman Tiffany. β€œEach year, I become more impressed by the young intellectuals in the Seventh District, and I can’t wait to review this year’s submissions.”

The winner from the Seventh Congressional District will be chosen by a panel of judges and will be eligible to have their app on display in the U.S. Capitol. 

Since 2015, the Congressional App Challenge has allowed STEM-driven students to compete against their peers by creating an application (also known as an β€œapp”) for desktop/PC, web, tablet, mobile, Raspberry Pi, or other devices. We accept any programming language, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or “block code.” 

All apps must be submitted by ThursdayOctober 30, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. More information on competition guidelines can be found on Congressman Tiffany’s website. For any questions, please contact Dylan Anderson at (715) 298-9344 or by email at Dylan.Anderson2@mail.house.gov
