<br>
I have just been informed that the famous XPRIZE organization support projects that<br>
develops learning solutions to empower children and communities around<br>
the world:<br>
<a href="http://learning.xprize.org/about/overview" target="_blank">http://learning.xprize.org/<u></u>about/overview</a><br>
<br>
While we could think GCompris is a good candidate, in the XPRIZE<br>
solution they are much more ambitious than I have been in requiring that<br>
"the learning solutions developed by this prize will enable a child to<br>
learn autonomously".<br>
<br>
I have always though GCompris has a tool to help a teacher or a parent,<br>
not as an autonomous software. Not sure what happens when you leave<br>
children with GCompris and no other guidance. For sure as today, this is<br>
far from enough to learn reading.<br>
<br>
Not sure on the KDE-EDU side if there is a project that could be a good candidate to XPRIZE.<br>
Anyway, the interesting part is that there is money and XPRIZE requires the project to be open source. The winner will be free educational software.<br>
