Help Spread a Love of Math Worldwide by Financially Supporting the Math Power! Open Innovation Competition – Crowdfunding Campaign.

The mEducation Alliance and partners want to raise $50,000 to help bring math games to kids in developing countries.

The mEducation Alliance, partnering with globally recognized math-focused organizations and champions and other development partners, has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Math Power! app competition.

Through this competition, we will be looking for technical applications which will enable the receipt, review, collation, and dissemination of math game descriptions, particularly to households typically found in low-resource developing country context. Importantly, we want this initiative to a) inspire and nurture kids to love playing math games and b) that these games advance identified learning goals. A successful crowd-funded campaign will enable us to provide incentive prizes to Math Power! app developers.

Please see our Math Power! page for more information, share news of this call, and consider supporting this crowdfunding campaign.
