Department of Education

Overview

Kaptivate is a participant in the Department of Education’s Experimental Design and Advanced Research Projects Accelerator (ED ARPA) BPA. This BPA has enabled Kaptivate to play a key role in the discovery, design, and deployment of the Departments top priorities. Our work has included the design, management, and national technical assistance for the Career Z Challenge--a multi-phase multi-year prize competition seeking innovative solutions to re-imagine work-based learning (WBL) for high school students.

Kaptivate has also coordinated two high visibility ED events. The first addressed Developing Student Learning in Data Science (March 2022). The second, sponsored White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), was a Roundtable on Ensuring Safety and Opportunity in STEM Environments. Our work on behalf of the Department also included the design of Raise the Bar: Unlocking Career Success’ web presence--a project launched and completed within a single month.

Solution

Our ED ARPA work has demonstrated our extraordinary capability to source and scout an array of SMEs in education and at national scale. This work also has highlighted our agility and ability to drive a broad array of departmental priorities. Despite pertinent late breaking news and condensed timelines, Kaptivate executed on high quality event experiences. We then used these experiences to launch communities that can sustain these mission priorities.
