Representative Rick Crawford is excited to announce the Congressional App Competition. High school students who live in or are eligible to enroll in high schools located in the First District can participate in the competition by developing or designing an Application on a platform of their choice. (You can check to see if you live, or your high school is located, in the First Congressional District here)
Students entering the competition must submit their app’s source code online as well as provide a YouTube or VIMEO video demo explaining their app and what they learned through this competition process.
The 2023 Congressional App Challenge’s winning team is Ebony Jade Robertson and Kyle Lu, seniors at Cabot High School, under the instruction of Kayla Britton, with their app, Arkansas Biking. The students created the app to provide everyone with virtual access to the Arkansas River Trail. The students stated in their application, “We wanted to create an app that would encourage users to visit the Arkansas River Trail and appreciate the wonders of our Natural State.”
Ebony Jade is the daughter of Jerry and Sharon Young and Kyle is the son of Hazel and Neil Lu.
