The challenge invites students to design an app in an effort to increase awareness and participation in science, math, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, and computer science education.
“It’s critical we ensure our students have the skills to compete in a 21st Century workforce, including computer science and STEM learning. That’s why each year, I host my Congressional App Challenge to encourage local middle and high school students to design an original app. I’m glad to announce the start of this year’s challenge and encourage all young people in our district to compete. I can’t wait to see what you come up with,” said Thompson.
Each year, students in the Fifth Congressional District are invited to compete in Thompson’s Congressional App Challenge.
The winning app from each district is put on display in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

Buchholz Athens was initiated at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Buchholz Athens is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.
Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10% of seniors and 7.5% of juniors are eligible for membership.
Graduate students in the top 10% of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines.
Today, the society has chapters on more than 325 campuses in the United States and the Philippines.
Its mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."

SANTA ROSA, Calif. — Lower Lake High School alumna Gina Fortino Dickson was awarded dual Juris Doctor and Master of Legal Studies degrees from Empire College School of Law in Santa Rosa on June 5.
She graduated with cum laude honors and was recipient of the Labe Lebowitz Award which recognizes perseverance and inspiration in overcoming adversity in the completion of law school.
Before attending law school, Fortino Dickson earned a paralegal certificate from San Diego City College, an A.A. degree from Santa Rosa Junior College, and a B.A. in Liberal Studies from Sonoma State University.
Fortino Dickson grew up in Lake County where her passion for the law was sparked by her time in student government.
Over the years, she has served her communities in governmental positions, including as vice mayor and city council member of Clearlake and as a member of the Sonoma County Child Care Planning Council.
She is currently serving as a Town of Windsor Park and Recreation commissioner.
As a law student, she worked in the elder law, legal aid and small claims clinics. She was the 2020 Sonoma County Women in Law Scholarship recipient and the 2019 Olga Gracey Scholarship recipient.
The daughter of Tom and Linda Fortino of Clearlake, she and her husband Michael Dickson reside in Windsor with their two children.
Founded in 1973, Empire College School of Law has small sections and class sizes that encourage a strong sense of community, accomplished faculty who are practicing attorneys or judges, and an array of clinical education opportunities for students to acquire practical experience applying the law and working with clients. Its alumni comprise approximately 25% of the Sonoma County Bar.
Fifteen alumni are now members of the California judiciary in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Lassen, Merced, and Calaveras counties; a 16th alumna is a member of the Arizona judiciary.
