Prizes for excellence in children's media, especially mobile learning
The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop is offering prizes for excellence in children’s media — challenging innovators to push the current boundaries of mobile learning.
Five finalists will be selected to travel to an industry conference to participate in a quick pitch competition before a distinguished jury, an audience of industry leaders and potential investors. The prize will be awarded at this event. The winner will receive USD50,000 to be put towards development of their project.
Competition entrants can come from anywhere in the world — come on South Africa! — as long as one member of the project team is based in the USA. This is a welcome initiative from an organisation that is committed to the innovative use of technology to support education.
