Congressman Ciscomani Announces Winner of 2025 App Challenge

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani is proud to announce the winner of Arizona's Sixth Congressional District 2025 Congressional App Challenge: Joshua Valdez from Cienega High School.

Joshua's App is titled 'ServeArizona' and connects volunteers with organizations to give school clubs a way to track member volunteer hours in a verifiable way.

CD 6 had an outstanding response this year with app submissions to include Immigration, AI, Sports, Emergency Response, Volunteerism and Career Planning. This year's submissions serve as a proud testimony to the talented students in CD 6 having interest in important topics facing our district and our country.

"I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge - Joshua Valdez, a student from Cienega High School. Joshua's creation of the app titled 'ServiceArizona' shows exemplary technological skill and a desire to promote volunteer service in our district," said Ciscomani. "I am proud of Joshua's work and look forward to the opportunity to further celebrate his accomplishment during this year's Congressional App Challenge Ceremony in Washington, D.C. Congratulations, Joshua!"

Since its inception in 2015, the Congressional App Challenge has seen participation from over 85,000 students from all 50 states, and this year, 394 Members of the House of Representatives participated in the program, with an impressive 13,830 students submitting Apps they created.

Winners from each participating district will receive exclusive invitations to the #HouseOfCode reception, scheduled for April 2026. This event serves as a platform to recognize and celebrate the innovative contributions of young minds in the field of computer science. I look forward to meeting Joshua in Washington, D.C. in April.
