(Carnegie, PA) Congressman Chris Deluzio announced the launch of the 2026 Congressional App Challenge in Carnegie on Friday. 

Created by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Internet Education Foundation in 2013, the nationwide competition encourages middle and high school students to pursue careers in technology through coding and app development. 

Each year, members of Congress invite students in their districts to create and submit original apps for a chance to win the competition. Winning apps from each congressional district are displayed and recognized at a showcase event in Washington, D.C., which is scheduled for the spring of 2027.
