                       Tuesday, December 6, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Northglenn High School for their creative and unique mobile 
applications (app) entered in the 2016 Congressional App Challenge.
   Two student teams from Northglenn High School participated in the 
challenge. The winning app allowed the residents of Northglenn to 
experience their city in virtual reality as a way to learn more about 
the area in which they live and its history. The other team developed 
an app that provided various filters to help showcase clothing. Each 
team spent countless hours and used numerous tools to learn about 
coding, further advancing their STEM education. Each team built their 
app in less than three months which shows their perseverance and 
dedication to this project.
   I am proud of Northglenn High School for their dedication and school 
spirit in this endeavor. I am certain the students in this school will 
exhibit the same dedication and character in all of their future 
accomplishments.
