Johnson Announces 2025 Congressional App Challenge Winner

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) congratulated Congressional App Challenge winner Nana Kwame Dwomoh from Brookings, South Dakota. Nana Kwame coded an app called “WorkWellness.”

“Congratulations to Nana Kwame on being selected as this year’s Congressional App Challenge Winner from South Dakota,” said Johnson. “He overcame several obstacles in developing his product and learned more about coding in the process. Technology is increasingly important in career fields, and the App Challenge is a great opportunity for students to test and improve their skills.”

Nana Kwame created “WorkWellness” to boost productivity and health by running timed work sessions, prompting stretch breaks, and suggesting targeted exercises for areas of discomfort. It also tracks total work time and includes an AI wellness assistant that provides quick, practical advice on posture, ergonomics, and healthy routines. 

Nana Kwame says, “As a high school student who spends long hours at a desk and on a computer, I’ve felt back pain myself. Millions of students and office workers share this same discomfort from ignoring what their bodies need during work sessions. I created WorkWellness to help solve that problem, allowing people to stay focused and productive while also reminding them to take care of their health through consistent stretching.”

Annually, students from each congressional district compete in the App Challenge. This year, Nana Kwame’s app will be displayed in the Capitol and featured online, and he will have the chance to participate in #HouseofCode, a gathering of all the current year’s winners.

Johnson announced the Congressional App Challenge in May. For further information about the Congressional App Challenge, please visit www.CongressionalAppChallenge.us.
