The winning student will receive a Kurzweil 3000 USB Professional Color software and an Apple iPod Touch. Their school will receive half-day training on The Max Warburg Courage Curriculum, a Kurzweil 3000 Web License Learning Lab Pack with one Professional Color license and four LearnStation licenses (valued at over $3000, and two seats in Cambium Learning Technologies’ Kurzweil 3000 online training course.
