Announcing the first Math Power! Prize Challenge Call: Manipulatives

Our 2025 prize call is focused on Manipulatives; Presenting learners with powerful, accurate models and representations of abstract mathematical concepts. We are seeking innovative and scalable initiatives that provide learners with access to powerful, accurate models and manipulatives of key mathematical concepts and support teachers to use these tools effectively in the classroom.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through Friday, May 30th, 2025.

Visit the Math Power! Prize Page for application details, qualification criteria, and the incredible benefits of participation.

Application Form

Learners everywhere should have access to Wondrous Learning!

Through our 4 c’s – catalytic activities, communications products, community-building, and convening work, we support efforts to bring wondrous learning opportunities, including those supported by technology, to learners in formal and non-formal educational settings, particularly in low-resource country and community contexts.

We are the largest global organizing platform of such efforts.

Convening

We connect global and national EdTech investors, policymakers, and practitioners. 

Among other activities, we have hosted 14 annual Symposia, bringing together over 3,000 attendees from around the globe.

Our most recent September 2024 Symposium, STEMtastic Adventures! was the second global STEM education conference with 110+ presentations and attendees from over 40 countries.

Catalyzing

We identify and help fill gaps in the education “ecosystem” through pilot projects, research, and the scaling of promising interventions and initiatives. 

Among other activities, we are testing the use of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for household instruction, use of low-cost video projectors paired with high quality education content, and launched the first global math prize.
