“HASTAC is playing a major role in the new White House campaign to encourage students to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The third-annual Digital Media and Learning Competition will award $2 million in support of participatory learning experiences that incorporate STEM principles. The competition launches Dec. 14 and winners will be announced in spring 2010.”

The competition is funded by the MacArthur Foundation, and will be administered by HASTAC. Awards will be given in two categories: “ 21st Century Learning Lab Designers” and  ”Game Changers” awards.
