***Celebrating Success: Arabia Mountain High School Students Triumph in the Congressional App Challenge**

Arabia Mountain High School has once again proven its technological prowess by clinching victory in the prestigious Congressional App Challenge. Aubrey Allen, Jasmine Stamper, and Ariel Hibbert emerged victorious with their exceptional mobile app. This remarkable achievement has earned them the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., in April 2024 where they will have the privilege of sharing their creation and insights with Congress. As the proud members of the Arabia Mountain High School community, we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments.

The Congressional App Challenge is an esteemed nationwide competition that encourages and recognizes the innovative spirit of young students in the field of app development. It provides a platform for high school students to showcase their technical skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Aubrey, Jasmine Stamper, and Ariel Hibbert for their remarkable achievement. Their collaboration and dedication have resulted in the creation of an outstanding mobile app that caught the attention of the judges.

Winning the Congressional App Challenge is no small feat, and it is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of our young scholars. The process involved countless hours of brainstorming, coding, testing, and refining their app to ensure its functionality, user-friendliness, and innovative features.

While specifics about the winning app are yet to be disclosed, its selection for the Congressional App Challenge highlights its potential to make a real impact. With technology emerging as an integral part of our lives, the app developed by the young ladies has the potential to address critical issues, enhance efficiency, or provide valuable services.

This remarkable victory marks the second time that Arabia Mountain High School students have claimed the top honor in the Congressional App Challenge. It showcases the commitment of the school's students to excel in the realm of technology and demonstrates the exceptional guidance and support provided by the faculty.

As we celebrate the outstanding achievements of Aubrey, Jasmine Stamper, and Ariel Hibbert, we recognize the significance of their victory in the Congressional App Challenge. Their success not only reflects their individual talent and hard work but also highlights the dedication and excellence that Arabia Mountain High School cultivates. We eagerly anticipate their trip to Washington, D.C., where they will have the opportunity to present their app to Congress and inspire others with their ingenuity. Let us join together to congratulate and support these remarkable students as they embark on this exciting journey.

As a part of our research, we are recruiting participants for an interview and design session. In this study, you will be asked about some of your existing curriculum and how it relates to your teaching practices and goals in teaching students engineering.
Time and place: The research study will take up to 130 minutes total, including a brief pre-interview online survey and a 120-minute in-person semi-structured interview. The interview will take place on Georgia Tech’s campus (free parking included). You will be compensated $200 for completing the study.*
Eligibility: You must be a high school teacher who has taught at least one academic year of engineering using design challenges to participate in a research study on reflective practices. You must be able to come in-person to a study at Georgia Tech (anyone in an EU country or in China cannot participate).
Get in touch: If you are interested in participating, fill out this brief questionnaire https://forms.office.com/r/AGaw964bW0. Eligible participants who are selected for this study will be contacted by a member of the research team.
