SHREVEPORT, December 12, 2022 - United States Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04) today announced the winners of the 2022 Congressional App Challenge for Louisiana's 4th Congressional District. Congressman Johnson joined the winners via Zoom on Friday to congratulate and commend the students for their exceptional work.
The Congressional App Challenge encourages students across the country to explore STEM, coding, and computer science, and connects Members of Congress with emerging technologies.
This year's winners-all students at Caddo Magnet High School in Shreveport-were selected by a panel of four judges, comprised of professors from LSU-Shreveport and Northwestern State University.
"We were overwhelmed by the outstanding quality of submissions for this year's Congressional App Challenge," Johnson said. "I'm encouraged that our young people are engaging in STEM and emerging technologies, and if this slate of app proposals is any indication, our future is in good hands."
