Congratulations to the Congressional APP Challenge winners from District 3 !

​New Mexico TechWorks is extra excited about the Santa Fe Indian School's Congressional APP Challenge First Place win, since NMTechWorks worked with SFPS last year to pilot the first coding elective while promoting development of a full-time program and connecting students with real-life learning opportunities to meet Tech and Media professionals!  Woohoo for New Mexico's Growing Innovation Economy Powered by Tech...AND for the local educators who work to bring that vision to fruition including Mark Ericson and Kate Sallah, plus Steve Coriz, Carlos Santistevan, and Kathleen Phelan! Learn more. Get Involved. #nmtechworks

First Place winners are the creators of the APP "Naruto Self Defense" - teammates Terrell Toldeo and Elias Trancosa from Santa Fe Indian School. They were selected as the first place winners of this year's Congressional App Challenge for this APP created to help students express themselves by making them feel more comfortable with self-expression.

Los Alamos High School students Javier and William McTeigue and Los Alamos Middle School student Kelly Isabella McTeigue were 2018's second place winners! Their app “Road Trip History” gives travelers information about the towns and cities they’re driving through.

Also congratulating German Rojo on the creation of the "Student Improvement Survey” app, which was selected as the 3rd place winner in our Congressional App Challenge.
