Our Nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being
overtaken by competitors throughout the world. the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of

technologically illiterate. Elephant vs. doctor: Aspirations 2 Million Minutes
