                       Thursday, February 1, 2024

  Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Aarit Koul (Air-it 
Cool) from Jackson Memorial Middle School in Massillon as the Ohio-13 
Champion of the Week. Aarit is the winner of the 2023 Congressional App 
Challenge for Ohio's 13th Congressional District. As part of the 2023 
Congressional App Challenge, Aarit designed an app called 
``CareCivic,'' which is designed to encourage young people to become 
civically engaged.a
  CareCivic includes information about our government and important 
events in United States history, as well as games like ping pong and 
trivia so you can learn while playing. Aarit's app is an impressive 
combination of technical skill and passion for civics rolled into one. 
Aarit's app helps teach younger generations just how precious our 
democracy is and why it's important they make their voices heard to 
create change on the issues they care about.
  Congratulations once more to the Ohio-13 Champion of the Week, Aarit 
Koul.
