Learn about:
- The Adult Literacy XPRIZE competition, the field test in progress now in three major U.S. cities, and the upcoming competition in which small and large communities across the U.S. will have an opportunity to compete for prizes for their residents' use of XPRIZE apps
- The development of the apps from those who created them
- What the apps do, and how they do it
- How you and your students can access the apps now
You will have an opportunity to ask questions about the Adult Literacy XPRIZE Grand Challenge, and to ask members of the development teams questions about the apps and their use with adult learners.
