Project Unicorn is an initiative focused on improving interoperability and data integration in the education technology (EdTech) sector. It aims to streamline the exchange of student data between different educational software applications and systems used by schools, districts, and educational organizations.

The project's name, "Unicorn," symbolizes the rarity and challenge of achieving seamless data interoperability in the EdTech landscape. Historically, educational institutions have struggled with siloed systems that do not communicate effectively with each other, leading to inefficiencies in data management and hindering the ability to harness insights from educational data.

Project Unicorn seeks to address these challenges by promoting the adoption of data interoperability standards and best practices. By establishing common data formats, protocols, and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), Project Unicorn aims to facilitate the flow of data between disparate systems, allowing educators and administrators to access and leverage student data more effectively.

The initiative is supported by a coalition of educational organizations, technology companies, policymakers, and advocacy groups that collaborate to develop and promote interoperability standards and solutions. By fostering greater data interoperability, Project Unicorn aims to empower educators with timely and actionable insights, improve the effectiveness of educational technology tools, and ultimately enhance student learning outcomes.
