Learning Landscapes Challenge Demo Day: New solutions for the future of K-12 education infrastructure
Join Siegel Family Endowment and the Walton Family Foundation at Cornell Tech for the Learning Landscapes Challenge Demo Day.
Imagine a future in which flexibility and student-centricity are the norm — not the exception — in K-12 education. A future in which all students have equal access to the learning experiences they need to thrive. A future in which learning is integrated across digital, in-school, and community environments. A future that meets students where, when, and how they learn. Join us as we step toward that future on July 30 at Cornell Tech’s beautiful Roosevelt Island campus.
After more than a year of concept development, acceleration, and incubation, the five Phase 3 teams in the Learning Landscapes Challenge will present their infrastructure solutions designed to deliver and connect digital, in-school, and community-based learning experiences. Up to two grand-prize winners — announced live at this event — will receive $500,000 each to further implement their solutions.
Attendees will have an opportunity to preview breakthrough approaches to educational infrastructure and explore partnerships with the changemakers behind them. A concluding reception will give investors, founders, experts, and advocates ample time to network with other innovators and funders committed to future-ready learning environments.
Event check-in begins at 2:00 p.m. ET. The program will begin promptly at 2:30 p.m. ET. See a full overview of the program below!
