                         Friday, April 15, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sam Abdallah and Lucas 
Sacherer of Lake Forest, Illinois. Sam and Lucas, representing Lake 
Forest High School, are the 10th District's selection for this year's 
Congressional App Challenge. The Congressional App Challenge seeks to 
foster an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering 
and mathematics by challenging high school students to develop and code 
applications that can provide us with real solutions.
  Their project, an application they call Greenlight, seeks to use 
technology to address problems faced in classrooms across America. Its 
primary purpose is to track the progress and understanding of students 
over the course of a class period, while also providing a judgment free 
and anonymous forum for students to ask questions.
  Sam and Lucas represent some of the best their generation has to 
offer us. Both were named Illinois State Scholars and their academic 
record is nothing if not impressive. I am proud to recognize them for 
their hard work and success as winners of the Congressional App 
Challenge.
