MacArthur Foundation Awards $2 Million to Digital Media and Learning Projects

From DigitalOcean to an urban WildLab, see the MacArthur Foundation web site for Innovative projects being funded through their Digital Media and Learning initiative.

Innovation awards support projects that demonstrate new modes of participatory learning, in which people take part in virtual communities, share ideas, comment on one another’s projects, and advance goals together. Young Innovator awards — designed to encourage young people aged 18-25 to think boldly about “what comes next” in participatory learning and to contribute to making it happen — will aid recipients in bringing their most visionary ideas from the “garage” stage to implementation.
