Due Date: December 18, 2022 (11:59pm Pacific Time)
Participants respond to questions in a brief form describing the concept for their tool or technology, indicating their award level, and introducing their team. The total length of responses is approximately 2 pages.
Tools and technologies that would be eligible for the competition could include an app or platform, software, algorithm, or other similar technology.
We are interested in tools and technologies that enhance learning, collect and generate data that supports learning science research and continuous product improvement, and can be scaled. This is core to the learning engineering objectives of the competition.
Due Date: February 24, 2023 (11:59pm Pacific Time)
Participants develop a 3,000 word proposal and budget detailing their tool or technology, its potential for impact and scale, adherence to requirements, and support of education research.
Participants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship or permanent residence status. See the official rules for more details.
Finalists will be notified if they advance by late April 2023.
May 2023
Finalists pitch before a panel of expert judges and have the opportunity for support and feedback in crafting their pitch.
July 2023
Winners are announced and receive the first installment of their award. Winners receive coaching, the opportunity to connect with leaders in the field, and the ability to present to researchers and other leaders to refine their tool.
Fall 2023
Winners present on their progress to date and receive feedback from other winners and leaders in the field. Winners making sufficient progress by Product Review Day will receive the second installment of their award.
Spring 2024
Winners will demonstrate their tools at a live public event and network with other leaders in the field.
Eligibility requirements increase as the size of the award increases. Growth and Transform award levels will be subject to greater scrutiny around risk potential, capacity to contribute to learning science or learning engineering research, and capacity to scale.
For more guidance on the award that is best suited for each team, participants can complete the eligibility quiz.
