''Mozilla is launching the Gigabit Community Fund to support innovators in Kansas City and Chattanooga develop & experiment with education & workforce development opportunities on next gen networks.''


'''Mozilla''', in partnership with the '''National Science Foundation (NSF)''' and '''US Ignite''', is creating the Mozilla Gigabit Community Fund to support development, experimentation and deployment of learning experiences and workforce development opportunities enhanced by next gen networks.
The Gigabit Community Fund Fund, supported by the National Science Foundation and part of the broader US Ignite initiative, invests in organizations and projects that utilize gigabit technology to serve educational systems, support educators in and out of the classroom, and impact student learning.  Projects supported by the Fund will build and pilot gigabit-enabled applications and associated curricula that have immediate, measurable impact on classrooms and informal learning organizations in Chattanooga and Kansas City. Through these pilot projects, Chattanooga and Kansas City will become living laboratories in which to study how these next-generation networks can impact education and workforce development.
