Dell today issued its second Dell Education Challenge to
university students, the most recent participants in today’s K-12
education systems worldwide. Dell seeks their inspiration,
imagination and innovation to re-engineer today’s learning
environments, both in and outside of the classroom. The competition
seeks to continue to inspire innovative ideas from around the world
that will help solve today’s biggest issues in education, including
those identified in a poll commissioned by Dell about new education
models. The poll showed that respondents view a personalized
approach to learning as most effective.
More than 400 projects were submitted in the last Dell Education
Challenge and the winning teams are bringing their ideas to
fruition. Grand prize winner, Forward Tutoring, is helping to
create more support for individual learning needs and support for
students by students via their online platform where credits are
earned for volunteering in the community. Those students then
redeem their credits for tutoring from other qualified students.
Tutors in turn can earn scholarships and internships from
supporting organizations.
Continuing its commitment to inspiring innovation, the Dell
Education Challenge is a spotlight challenge of the Dell Social
Innovation Challenge, challenging university students to solve some
of the world’s most pressing problems with transformative ideas.
This spotlight challenge will identify and invest $30,000 in
promising projects. Dell will provide students who submit ideas
with access to a global community that provides valuable feedback
and encouragement on their projects to help make their ideas a
reality.
Twenty semi-finalists will be selected in September and will
receive direct mentorship from a Dell Social Innovation Challenge
certified mentor, giving those project teams the chance to develop
their ideas with the help, experience and expertise of successful
entrepreneurs and business leaders. One member from each of the top
three teams will receive an all-expense paid trip to pitch their
team’s idea at a special awards event in December 2013 where the
winning team will be announced. All finalists will be automatically
entered as semi-finalists for the 2014 Dell Social Innovation
Challenge, Dell’s competition focused on social
entrepreneurship.
