The Futures Forum on Learning: Tools Competition (“Tools Competition”) invites teachers, students, researchers, technologists, and ed tech leaders to propose a tool, technology, platform, or research project that can accelerate recovery from COVID-19-related learning loss for students between grades K-12, and advance the field of learning engineering.

Schmidt Futures and Citadel Founder and CEO Ken Griffin are working together to help launch the competition with up to $2 million in awards.

Solutions should aim to address one of the problem areas:

• Increase the number of students who are reading by 3rd grade;
• Increase the number of students on track in middle-school math;
• Expand the number of students gaining data and computer science skills in high school;
• Driving more students into college through academic and nonacademic supports;
• Another pressing learning goal identified by the team that is related to COVID-19.

In addition to the prize funds, winners will have the opportunity to connect with prominent education researchers, edtech leaders, and representatives of large philanthropic organizations to scale their work. They will also have access to a panel of educators to test solutions.
