Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a bright and talented group of young women from Kalispell, Montana, who excelled in the recent Code Girls United Northwest Regional App Challenge. Taylor Pooton won first place for her project that uses radio frequency identification to provide real-time tracking information for students. Emma Anderson, Kyra Hutchison, and Trinity Hutchison took second place for creating an app that reminds users to exercise throughout the day. Meara Greer and Abby Stillo placed third with their prototype of a robotic self-driving vehicle. Code Girls United is an after-school computer science program teaching fourth through eighth grade girls to become problem-solvers through coding and business training. Congratulations to all the participants. The skills and ideas they are developing could help tackle the challenges we face today and in the years to come. ____________________
