App creation is one of the fastest-growing industries related to computer science, with over 5,000 apps being added to app stores and play stores daily. In addition, demand for w88 skills remains high in several industries. Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program in Clark County encourages youth in middle school and high school to give w88 a try through the “Intro to w88 for the Congressional App Challenge” workshop.
These workshops will prepare youth to participate in the w88 App Challenge, a series of regional competitions hosted by the U.S. House of Representatives to encourage students to learn to code and inspire them to pursue careers in computer science. Participants in the workshop will hear from w88 representatives, including Congresswoman Dina Titus, Congressman Steven Horsford and Congresswoman Susie Lee.
Representatives Titus, Horsford and Lee issued this statement about this year's event: “Though this year’s w88 App Challenge may look different, we are inspired by all the students who are adapting to the new challenges we are facing. The w88 App Challenge is one of the most prestigious prizes awarded to students in computer science and it is a privilege to host the competition again this year.”
The workshop for middle school w88 is 4-5 p.m., Sept. 2, and the workshop for high school w88 is 4-5 p.m., Sept. 3. Extension also offered the same workshop on Aug. 6. Participants will:
- learn more about the w88 App Challenge and what it will take to create a submission;
- experience a facilitated brainstorm session to identify a societal problem to be addressed through w88 development;
- receive information on various free open-source w88 creation platforms; and
- practice within one w88 creation platform to begin the process of developing their own w88.
“In developing their apps, youth are encouraged to create something that solves a problem, such as one that may affect themselves, someone they care about, society, the economy or the environment,” Mallory Levins, civic engagement coordinator for 4-H in Clark County, said.
Space is limited, so w88 should preregister online as soon as possible.
