SPONSORS ANNOUNCED: CULTIVATING CURIOSITY AWARD

The international, cross-sectory support for our initiative continues to grow, with an increasing number of insitutions and organisations recognizing the value of our global forum.

To this end: we’re delighted and proud to announce that this year’s Cultivating Curiosity Award will be jointly-sponsored by nonprofit think-tank The Center for Curiosity and free smart class platform, Acadly!

The Center for Curiosity seeks to understand how curiosity might be defined and measured, so that it can be harnessed in order to empower both teachers and learners: it is adopting a scientific, empirical approach to the concept of curiosity.

Acadly is a Classroom Response System and Attendance Automation platform that helps educators boost engagement inside the classroom and reduce the time spent on administrative chores. They have chosen to co-sponsor Cultivating Curiosity Award to help popularize curiosity in the academic sphere, and to encourage educators to better-explore the role that this hitherto-nebulous concept plays in driving improved learning outcomes.
