THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION AND HASTAC INNOVATION AWARDS ARE INTENDED TO APPEAL TO PIONEERS, BUILDERS OF NEW DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.

THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION AND HASTAC KNOWLEDGE-NETWORKING AWARDS WILL GO TO CREATIVE AND DEDICATED COMMUNICATORS. NOT EVERY DIGITAL INVENTOR/DEVELOPER IS A SKILLFUL KNOWLEDGE-NETWORKER. HOW CAN GOOD IDEAS BE CIRCULATED WIDELY, TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE WEB'S POTENTIAL FOR COLLABORATIVE THINKING, WHERE MANY CAN CONTRIBUTE, SHAPE, AND SHARE? THIS IS A PUBLIC COMPETITION THAT WILL AWARD $2 MILLION IN FUNDING TO EMERGING LEADERS, COMMUNICATORS, AND INNOVATORS SHAPING THE FIELD OF DIGITAL MEDIA AND LEARNING. THE COMPETITION IS PART OF MACARTHUR€™S $50 MILLION DIGITAL MEDIA AND LEARNING INITIATIVE THAT AIMS TO HELP DETERMINE HOW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE CHANGING THE WAY YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN, PLAY, SOCIALIZE, AND PARTICIPATE IN CIVIC LIFE.
