Eligibilities
LSX Fellows candidates should be mid-career and experienced enough in their own fields to understand the value of seeking out new opportunities for collaboration and communication of ideas in different sectors.
The organizers are seeking candidates who are well-positioned to bring new insights back to their respective fields while also helping to advance interdisciplinary approaches to communicating and applying the science of learning and development.
The organizers are looking for individuals in five categories:
Scientists on the cusp of new discoveries in child development
Social impact entrepreneurs in the field of early childhood seeking to learn more about society’s critical needs for improving the lives of all young children
Journalists seeking the next big story in early learning
Entertainment producers or game developers who want to gain a deeper understanding of how children learn and develop
Early education policy influencers who design systems for educators to help young children thrive
