Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tom Emmer hosted the winners of the Congressional App Challenge for Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District in Washington, D.C. The winners, Suditya Singh of Blaine and Muskan Singh of Eden Prairie, developed Tiny Thinkers, an application that uses videos and quizzes to help children with autism develop social and emotional skills. 

“It is incredible to see Minnesota students using their STEM skills to help overcome community challenges. Congratulations to Suditya and Muskan on winning the 2024 Congressional App Challenge! We look forward to seeing all you accomplish in the future,” Congressman Tom Emmer said.

Tiny Thinkers is currently on display in the United States Capitol Building, where it will remain for a full year. A brief demonstration of the application can be found here.

Background
