                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 8, 2026

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud Amy 
Zhang of Morrison, Colorado, for winning Best in Show in the 2025 
Congressional App Challenge.
  Amy built EnAct: AI Guides, Vision-Impaired Act, an assistive 
technology app for seeing impaired individuals that describes the 
user's environment, helping them avoid pathway collisions. Her 
application uses multiple AI platforms, and was inspired in part by 
Amy's experience with a friend who is seeing impaired.
  This accomplishment is an impressive example of Amy's determination, 
hard work, and advanced STEM knowledge base.
  I congratulate Amy Zhang for her success in the Congressional App 
Challenge. I am certain she will continue to show the same dedication 
and strength of character in all her future endeavors. I am excited to 
see all she will accomplish.
