At XPRIZE, we design and operate large-scale competitions to create breakthrough technologies that will harness the power of tech for a more sustainable and equitable world. We recently awarded our first education prize, the Global Learning XPRIZE. It was a competition to create cutting-edge learning software for out-of-school children. We field tested this software with about 3,000 out-of-school children across 150+ communities in rural Tanzania. We saw impressive learning gains across competencies in reading, writing, and mathematics.
In May 2019, we made the learning software code freely available for the world to build upon, and released the data for free. From the lessons we learned about youth engagement and learning, XPRIZE is now building an educational outreach program. This initiative will be multi-generational, with a priority for underrepresented groups. All programming will focus on learning outcomes, and the power of technology to build a better future.
