TOPICS:                                                                                   

Challenge #1 | Digital education 

Think of a solution that leverages real-time engagement data and/or artificial intelligence to help schools in under-resourced communities improve graduation rates, student attendance, higher-ed enrollment, teacher retention, or proficiency on state assessments. 

Please consider: 

1. In 2021, schools and colleges across the US reported an average 19% increase in overall use of learning technologies for classroom interactions and exercises, group work, machine learning-powered teaching assistants, etc. 

2. The increased reliance on technology also amplified some inequalities; more than 2 in 5 low-income households had limited access to computers and the internet.               

Challenge #2 | Cyberbullying 

Create a solution (or improve an existing solution) that helps identify, stop, and/or remove harassment, bullying, and/or discrimination for kids ages 8-15 years old. 

Please consider: 

While the world saw benefits and innovations that came from the new appreciation for technology, the increase in usage of digital platforms also left kids and teens more prone to cyberbullying.
