$$ available for educational initiatives

BTV Ignite is sponsoring something called a Reverse Pitch for education. There are "Idea grants" of $2000 for educators to present an idea for a problem they'd like to have solved through software. Developers will then bid to come up with solutions. Read about it here.

Here are details from their site:

Develop new solutions to deliver education

BTV Ignite is participating in this year's US Ignite series of "Reverse Pitch" Competitions. Digital solution developers are invited to compete for $30,000 in cash grants to demonstrate innovative ways high-bandwidth ideas can help deliver education - in Burlington, across our state, and by linking our students with national communities and resources.

*** UPDATE - SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL IDEAS FOR GRANT CONSIDERATION - BY JUNE 29!

The call for "Idea Proposals" is now open. We are seeking your Idea/Concept proposal(s) for new digital solutions supporting education delivery. The best ideas will be considered for an "Idea Grant" of $2,000 to help you take your idea to a proof of concept solution (for consideration at the Finals event in October).

The deadline for proposal submission is 5:00PM EDT on Friday, June 29, 2018.

To submit a proposal, you must complete and upload the Proposal using this "Idea Pitch Template" document.
