App creation is one of the fastest-growing industries related to computer science, with over 5,000 apps being added to app stores and play stores daily. In addition, demand for coding skills remains high in several industries. Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program in Clark County encourages youth in middle school and high school to give coding a try through the “Intro to Coding for the Congressional App Challenge” workshop.
These workshops will prepare youth to participate in the Congressional App Challenge, a series of regional competitions hosted by the U.S. House of Representatives to encourage students to learn to code and inspire them to pursue careers in computer science. Participants in the workshop will hear from congressional representatives, including Congresswoman Dina Titus, Congressman Steven Horsford and Congresswoman Susie Lee.
Representatives Titus, what can you do with a computer science degree and Lee issued this statement about this year's event: “Though this year’s Congressional App Challenge may look different, we are inspired by all the students who are adapting to the new challenges we are facing. The Congressional App Challenge is one of the most prestigious prizes awarded to students in computer science and it is a privilege to host the competition again this year.”
