Global Learning XPRIZE - Impact
Channel: XPRIZE
Date: 2020-12-17

Inspiring Education Innovation - In 2020, the impact of Covid-19 led to nearly 1 billion children being out of school without access to a suitable learning environment. The future of learning must be accessible, adaptable, and effective. The Global Learning XPRIZE competition inspired 198 teams from 40 countries to build open source education software that empowered children to teach themselves reading, writing and math within 15 months. And we’re still scaling this innovation. Check out the educational breakthroughs at learning.xprize.org.

You can be the change you wish to see in the world. Localize the software at github.com/xprize.

Thank you for the generous support of the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation, and the Bennett family. Be a part of the XPRIZE learning revolution and visit learning.xprize.org for more info.
