Congressman Trent Kelly (MS-01) is pleased to announce that Camryn Colter of Louisville High School is the winner of the First Congressional District's 2020 Congressional App Challenge (CAC). The CAC, an initiative of the U.S. House of Representatives, invites middle and high school students to create an informational app.
Camryn, a 9th-grade student, created an app called Mississippi Census 4-H Counts. The app gives information to the user about the importance of the Census. Kristi Jernigan, a Louisville High School Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Instructor, coordinated the assignment in conjunction with the Mississippi State University Extension Service's 4-H Counts service-learning project.
"It is my pleasure to congratulate Camryn for the hard work and dedication required to win the 2020 Congressional App Challenge," Rep. Kelly said. "The CAC is a great program that encourages the development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills. These are the building blocks needed to acquire solid, cutting-edge computer skills - a necessity in today's world."
