Last week, Rep. Victoria Spartz announced Fishers High School junior KJ Sawada as a winner for the 2022 Congressional App Challenge (CAC) for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.
Sawada’s app called the “Class Tracker” tracks each class a student has taken in high school and calculates the credit requirements for graduation for different diplomas. The app also has a filter feature that allows a user to find classes by credit hour(s) or grade received.
“It’s always a pleasure seeing innovative ideas and solutions from our youth,” Rep. Spartz said. “Computer science skills will play an important role in the 21st century economy.”
The Class Tracker app will be featured on House.gov as well as a rotating display in the Cannon House Office Building leading to the U.S. Capitol. Sawada will also be invited to attend the CAC’s House of Code winners’ reception on Capitol Hill next spring with other winners from across the country.
