Voting is now closed!The inaugural Teacherpreneur Cohort spent several weeks designing solutions that address systemic inequities present in our public schools. On February 24, they pitched their ideas to a panel of judges for the chance at a cash prize up to $10,000 and seed funding to pilot their idea.
The Community Favorite award was determined by community votes on online pitch previews from the cohort and audience votes from the pitch event. The Community Favorite winner received a $2,500 cash prize.
Voting opened Monday, February 21 and closed Wednesday, February 23 at 5:00 p.m. CT.
