Learning Collider [http://www.learningcollider.org/?source=collection_about-------------------------------------] is a nonprofit, social science research lab accelerating social impact where we live, learn, and work through untapped data, technology platforms, and collaborative research.Our growing research portfolio spans sectors, applications, and geographies but common threads tie each research partnership and project together. Those threads include real-world research using real-time data intertwined with the opportunity to scale *real* social and economic mobility. In short, we’re researchers grounded in the real world, not the ivory tower.From Silicon Valley startups to remote learning in Botswana to hiring AI used by Fortune 500 companies worldwide, Learning Collider: - Connects to and analyzes high-dimensional, real-time data sourced from technology platforms owned and operated by public or private partners- Pairs, supports, and trains applied researchers to work in novel, evolving data environments- Builds research infrastructure within technology platforms to embed mechanisms for continuous testing, experimentation, and monitoring- Conducts rigorous studies focused on improving lives and livelihoods, i.e. scaling economic mobility interventions, designing fair algorithms, and building responsible technologySharing our how-what-why is core to our work.
