  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

  6. Barack Obama National Academy of Sciences April 27, 2009 Aneesh Chopra CTO of the United States TEDx Mid-Atlantic November 11, 2009 “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.” “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.” A Call for “Revolutionary Transformation Rather than Evolutionary Tinkering”
