The program is called “Edge Challenge” and is running for the first time this year. Edge Challenge awards prizes to students and startups building applications for learning (the grand prize is $25K). The requirements for the applications are very open ended so students will find it easy to fit existing or planned projects into the format. Students will also have a strong connection to the theme of learning. It is a great opportunity to fit academic work into a another context and we have some great judges participating in the contest from technology, education and investment sectors.
