The $1 Million Skills Building Challenge aims to locate, support and mentor 8 startups using technology to prepare students for success in the classroom and beyond.
Selected applicants will receive $125,000 as part of their participation in the 6-month Accelerator program, where they’ll have access to AT&T’s senior executives and mentoring from leading minds in education and entrepreneurship. Relocation is not required.
New in 2020, the Accelerator program will also allow companies to explore the potential of 5G, and how AT&T’s network could impact their business models and the larger education landscape.
