Rural Tech Project
The Rural Tech Project is a $600,000 challenge meant to advance technology education in rural high schools by inviting high schools and LEAs to propose technology education programs that use distance-enabled learning and competency-based education. Up to five finalists will each receive an equal share of the $500,000 Phase 1 cash prize pool and progress to Phase 2. In Phase 2, finalists will receive personalized support to plan, run, refine, and report on their programs. At the end of Phase 2, one grand-prize winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize. At the end of this project, we will compile insights from all finalists and publish lessons learned as a resource for other communities. By learning from their student-centered models, we hope to help other schools create their own technology education programs and increase access to skills for rewarding, in-demand careers.
High schools and local educational agencies interested in participating in the Rural Tech Project should submit a program proposal by October 8, 2020. Interested applicants can learn more and sign up for challenge updates at ruraltechproject.com Lastly, we would urge any interested applicants to sign up for the Rural Tech Project virtual information session on July 21. This will provide an overview of the challenge and give school and district leaders an opportunity to ask questions about the challenge and application process.
