Interventions should specifically focus on fractions, and can also include prerequisite skills such as whole numbers and operations. </li><li><a href="https://www.challenge.gov/?challenge=iesscienceprize" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Science Prize</a> seeks interventions to significantly improve science outcomes for middle school students with low performance in science. Interventions may be digital, non-digital, or hybrid.</li></ul>In Phase 1, entrants are invited to submit proposals for interventions that could be implemented in schools (both Prizes) or out-of-school-time programs (Science Prize only) during Phase 2. The duration of interventions may vary, but they must be implemented between November 2022 and April 2023.Up to five finalists per challenge will be selected to participate in Phase 2 based on scoring by judges against the Phase 1 selection criteria.
