RECOGNIZING GITANJALI RAO, COLORADO'S 4TH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL APP
CHALLENGE WINNER
______
HON. KEN BUCK
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 28, 2021
Mr. BUCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Gitanjali Rao for being selected as Colorado's 4th District Congressional App Challenge Winner. With one in five pre-teens in the U.S. reporting being cyberbullied, cyberbullying others, or having seen cyberbullying, Ms. Rao's app ``Kindly'' serves as a preventative measure to help protect America's children from this unfortunately common harassment.
Ms. Rao, a student at STEM School Highlands Ranch and TIME's 2020 Kid of the Year, created the app ``Kindly'', a one-of-a-kind app that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to detect and prevent cyberbullying at an early stage. Ms. Rao's commitment to young people affected by cyberbullying is a credit to her. Her hard work and ingenuity are showcased through this thoughtful, innovative app. She has shown true leadership in her community, and her app will help defeat cyberbullying around the country.
On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I extend my best wishes to Ms. Rao. Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Ms. Rao for her great accomplishments.
