Initiative[edit | edit source]

Project Unicorn is an effort to support the education technology arena in adopting industry interoperability standards. By supporting and helping expand how interoperability is understood and implemented, schools, districts and states in the K-12 sector can connect their various applications and use their data more effectively. This work also helps “empower … districts and states to be smart consumers in their procurement of technology.” (https://www.projectunicorn.org/history)

Project Unicorn coordinates the development and stewardship of resources aimed to support schools, districts, vendors, and all those users interested in the importance of interoperability via a resource library located here.
