Today, Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) announced the opening of his Congressional App Challenge -- a competition aimed at encouraging U.S. high school students to learn how to code by creating their own applications.

The Challenge will highlight the value of computer science and STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). To say Rep. Johnson is looking forward to hosting this year's Congressional Application is an understatement.

"Science and technology are transforming our world and we must do all we can to ensure our kids are taking part in and helping shape the changing economy," said Johnson. "This competition will showcase some of the Fourth Congressional District's brightest young minds as they take on cutting-edge technology that is becoming an increasing part of all our lives."
