The 2024 Yass Prize Semifinalists represent a microcosm of 21st century, personalized approaches that better educate students, pre-K and beyond. The extraordinary breadth and depth of these competitors for the grand prize are carving pathways to success that defy convention. From educational metaverses and AI-driven organizations that address the whole learning cycle, to more familiar yet unique learning environments, and from content-rich learning solutions to training and leadership, these amazing 25 awardees are all transforming education for students at every level and every stage of life.
"This year’s Yass Prize awardees are not only unconventional in their ethos and work, but they share a passion and commitment to defying educational malaise. They are not just entrepreneurs. They are challengers.
Together, the new cohort of 25 can address the needs of every sort of student and family, every kind of terrain, community and challenge." -YASS Organization
