If you know a high school junior or senior who would be a good fit, encourage them to apply here before the September 16 deadline.

I am encouraging students of all skill levels to participate in this fun and low-barrier way to begin exploring a future in STEM by learning how to create their own apps. Students can register and submit their applications until November 1, 2022. The competition is open to all students who meet the eligibility requirements, regardless of coding experience.
