Rep. Spartz Announces Winner of the 2022 Congressional App Challenge
Fishers, IN – Last week, Rep. Spartz announced KJ Sawada, Fishers High School Junior, as a winner for the 2022 Congressional App Challenge (CAC) for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. KJ’s app called the “Class Tracker” tracks each class a student has taken in high school and calculates the credit requirements for graduation for different diplomas. The app also has a filter feature that allows a user to find classes by credit hour(s) or grade received.
"It’s always a pleasure seeing innovative ideas and solutions from our youth," said Rep. Spartz. “Computer science skills will play an important role in the 21st century economy.”
The Class Tracker app will be featured on www.House.gov as well as a rotating display in the Cannon House Office Building leading to the U.S. Capitol. KJ will also be invited to attend the Congressional App Challenge’s House of Code winners’ reception on Capitol Hill next Spring with other winners from across the country. YouTube video demonstrating the Class Tracker app can be found here: class tracker - YouTube
The CAC began in 2014 as a collaboration between the U.S. House of Representatives and the Internet Education Foundation (IEF) and is open to middle and high school students.
