Djidjev created AquaPulse, a water level analytics app that enables professionals and the public to gain valuable insights from water system data.
It’s an honor to congratulate Victoria Djidjev on AquaPulse, an app that serves as an advanced avenue for water system data. Idaho is home to one of the most unique water systems in the world, and Victoria’s app provides an unparalleled opportunity to monitor and predict river water levels,” said Rep. Simpson.

Congressional App Challenge
In 2013 leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives and at the Internet Education Foundation sought to foster an appreciation for computer science and STEM. Through an overwhelmingly bipartisan effort, members of the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution 77 - which outlined the plans and rules for Representatives to host district-by-district computer science, or "app," competitions every year for students.
Rules
To be eligible to participate in the Congressional App Challenge, you must be a middle or high school student at the time of app submission.
Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four. No more than four students are allowed to form a team. Students may compete in the district they reside in or the district they attend school in. If competing as a team, at least half of the teammates must be eligible to compete in the district in which they are participating in.
