STEM contest challenges students to create apps
Hey students, here’s a competition that is sure to test your app-titude. U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan is inviting students from his congressional district to use their creative skills to come up with original apps for a contest aimed at promoting education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) said the app challenge, part of an effort by the House of Representatives to advance STEM education, is open to students in the 11th Congressional District.
The deadline for entering the contest is Jan. 15.
A panel of three local judges — John Abi-Habib, Frank Floridia and Anthony Rapacciuolo — will announce winners on Feb. 22.
