                    CONGRATULATING LUIGI BATTAGLIOLI

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Luigi Battaglioli, a 
visionary senior at Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School, whose app 
was recently selected as the winner of the 2018 Congressional App 
Challenge for New York's 20th Congressional District.
  Luigi's submission stood out in an impressive field from students 
across our district. His app, CodeGeek.org, is an online classroom that 
teaches novice students how to code through video lessons, educational 
texts, and challenge assignments.
  Growing a modern, sustainable, and competitive economy requires 
exceptional STEM training and education. Luigi's commitment to making 
coding accessible to anyone on the internet truly embodies the spirit 
of the Congressional App Challenge. He has earned the pride and praise 
of our entire capital region community. May his work inspire others to 
share his passion in the coming year and beyond.
