Verizon 5G EdTech Challenge Program

NYC Media Lab embarked on a journey with Verizon Innovative Learning to seek, cultivate, and scale cutting-edge 5G edtech AR and VR learning applications for schools nationwide. 

The Verizon 5G Labs, Verizon Foundation, and NYC Media Lab selected 10 university and nonprofit teams to participate in the 5G EdTech Challenge. From AR and VR experiences, to machine learning, AI, and mixed reality, the projects were chosen for their potential to demonstrate a compelling use case for 5G technology and ability to solve for student engagement, teacher preparedness, and special needs support.
