  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a bright and 
talented group of young women from Kalispell, Montana, who excelled in 
the recent Code Girls United Northwest Regional App Challenge.
  Taylor Pooton won first place for her project that uses radio 
frequency identification to provide real-time tracking information for 
students.
  Emma Anderson, Kyra Hutchison, and Trinity Hutchison took second 
place for creating an app that reminds users to exercise throughout the 
day.
  Meara Greer and Abby Stillo placed third with their prototype of a 
robotic self-driving vehicle.
  Code Girls United is an after-school computer science program 
teaching fourth through eighth grade girls to become problem-solvers 
through coding and business training.
  Congratulations to all the participants. The skills and ideas they 
are developing could help tackle the challenges we face today and in 
the years to come.
