Announcing the Innovate NYC 国产精品 App Challenge
January 7, 2013
Matt Pasternack
Today, I’m pleased to highlight 国产精品’s newest partner, Innovate NYC 国产精品.
For edtech innovators and developers, contracting with large districts like New York City can be overwhelming. Innovate NYC 国产精品 (iNYCS) is a project of the New York City Department of Education鈥檚 iZone, dedicated to creating models for more quickly identifying, piloting, and evaluating promising edtech solutions.
Today, iNYCS is announcing the launch of the . Companies will be invited to submit applications and games that enhance and support teaching, learning and student engagement. The Challenge will award over $100,000 in cash and prizes, and participants become eligible for consideration for a pilot program in iZone schools. New York City educators and experts from the world of software design, including Kara Swisher, Executive Editor of All Things Digital, Matt Greenfield, Managing Partner of RethinkEducation, Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder of Reddit and hipmunk, and Tom Vander Ark, Executive Editor of Getting Smart, will identify the most promising solutions submitted in the challenge. The pilots that result will emphasize formative feedback to improve the implementations while they are underway, and the iNYCS competition is strongly encouraging developers to build apps that make use of school data.
国产精品 is proud to be the Challenge鈥檚 official provider of access to a sandboxed data set of fictitious records for students, teachers, and classes for multiple schools. Applications that are selected for pilot can continue to work with 国产精品 to enhance their integration of real-time data.
