Innosight Institute is collaborating with the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) Office of Global Social Innovation in the launch of a new global education grant program called the HP Catalyst Initiative. Through this initiative, HP will support thought-leading education institutions as they explore what the future of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education can look like.
Each of five different consortia will explore a specific innovation theme and will receive more than $1 million in technology, cash, and professional assistance. The goal is to create international collaborative “sandboxes” of innovation to examine this future—one where students use their technical and creative ingenuity to address urgent social challenges in their communities and around the world. For 2010, this initiative is focused on 11 targeted countries: Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Kenya, India, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
