Labs around the world will use the LEVANTE dashboard to deploy measures for kids and families. Then, the data are validated, scored, and preprocessed and flow to an repository for use by other researchers. The goal is a field-leading open dataset about children's growth in context.

LEVANTE includes a whole host of measures. These include tasks that measure reasoning, math, language, reading (with help from ROAR), social cognition, and executive function, as well as surveys and other data on the child, the home, the caregiver, and the context.

Our network of pilot and first-wave sites already spans three continents and seven countries - we hope to grow much more in the years to come! Take a look at the paper for more details - and tech specs are available at our researcher website: researcher.levante-network.org
