“Lucas, a filmmaker and chairman of The George Lucas Educational Foundation, testified before the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet that Congress should expand and modernize its twelve-year-old program of telecom discounts to schools and libraries. To achieve his vision of Edutopia, in which students direct their own learning while teachers nurture their curiosity, he said, the ultimate goal should be to make these connections for every school and library not just more affordable, but free.” More here…

A good example is the OSD, a “media fridge” made by Neuros Technology of Chicago which acts as a repository of video from DVDs, camcorders, cable boxes and so on. Neuros made the OSD’s technical specifications available, and a group of users then wrote software to add a new feature that many users had requested: the ability to stream video from the OSD to another device across the internet. To access this new feature, users simply had to download a software patch. “It’s harder for my device to get antiquated,” says Aaron Crum, an OSD user, “and I don’t have to buy another $200 device next year.”

“Currently, 4-H SET projects reach more than 5.9 million youth in urban, suburban and rural communities across America. In order to address our nation’s challenge, 4-H is committed to involving 1 million new young people in SET projects over the next five years.” More here…

Amazing efforts underway in Oregon to meet SET goals….check out our podcast:

“Currently, 4-H extends the knowledge and research base of Oregon State University to more than 150,000 young people across Oregon through a network of 5000 volunteers and 120 faculty and staff. Through strategic deployment of resources and curriculum, 4-H offers a unique and powerful solution to the country’s shortage of scientists and engineers. For years, 4-H has utilized an experiential, hands-on approach for helping young people learn science content. But, being ready for new century careers involves more than academic competence. Young people must possess life skills necessary to navigate complex human systems while acting with integrity and character.”
