Goldstar Education announces a high-profile collaboration with Digital Promise as part of the $6m National Science Funded Visionary Interdisciplinary Teams Advancing Learning (VITAL) Prize Challenge to support the next generation of equitable learning technologies.
The VITAL Prize Challenge will incentivise interdisciplinary teams, who must be US-based, to create innovative and translational K-12 learning technologies that synthesise recent discoveries in science and engineering with educational and training processes. There are three tracks, which focus on:
Rapid and Continuous Learning Assessment;
Mathematical Literacy to Promote a Future STEM Workforce; and
Other Innovations in Translational Learning Technologies.
100 teams will be invited to the Discovery round, which will be successively reduced to 9 teams who will receive up to $250,000 in cash prizes to work towards product prototype development and validation.
Goldstar Education will provide bespoke workshops and support for the teams to raise their awareness of the 6 Superpowers of the most impactful edtech companies. Goldstar’s inputs will enable the teams to learn how to create the most educationally impactful products and tools that are driven by robust educational research evidence and data, and communicate this information to future funders, investors, purchasers and, most importantly districts, schools, teachers, parents and learners.
