Learn about the Prize

Prize Description:

The Tools Competition is thrilled to offer the Dataset Prize to spur the development of robust education-focused datasets to support research and development. The prize will award $50,000 for teams to prepare and release datasets that can make innovation and research related to education less expensive and more inclusive.

Education datasets are too rarely released for open research and development, limiting critical information about learning to a few organizations that gain a competitive advantage to innovate or conduct rigorous research.

This long-standing issue has a greater impact on market dynamics given the rise in artificial intelligence. Datasets are fundamental to developing AI models that are more reliable, equitable, ethical, and impactful. The field needs robust data representing diverse student populations, and learning contexts and capturing a holistic picture of learning. 

The 2025 Tools Competition challenges competitors to contribute to the open dataset movement and release datasets that can improve edtech innovation broadly.

This prize builds on the competition’s interest in proposals generating public assets. Learn more here.
