Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information 4

America will not remain true to its highest ideals—and

America's place as a global economic leader will be put at

risk...if we don't do a far better job than we've been

doing of educating our sons and daughters; unless we

give them the knowledge and skills they need in this new

and changing world.

President Barack ObamaMarch 10, 2009

A Critical Need for Improvement

“Reaffirming and strengthening America’s role as the world’s engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation is essential to meeting the challenges of this century, That’s why I am committed to making the improvement of STEM education over the next decade a national priority.”    --President Barack Obama, 11/23/09

“The President has called for us to think about this question in a more

fundamental way.  And that is... how might we engineer online courses that

actually improve their ability to teach you as each child goes through them.  A learning lab, a grand challenge that

would ensure that every child has access to education material in a manner that befits their learning style, that learns

over time.”

“We will devote more than 3% of our GDP to research and development … Just

think what this will allow us to accomplish: solar cells as cheap as

paint, and green buildings that produce all of the energy they consume; learning software as effective as a personal tutor; prosthetics so advanced that you could

play the piano again; an expansion of the frontiers of human knowledge about

ourselves and world the around us. We can do this.”
