Today, America faces an enormous challenge. Two years ago, the National Academies warned us of a gathering storm that threatened our Nation in the 21st century. Their report told us that without immediate action the U.S. could lose its competitive technological edge in the world, meaning a dimmed future for our Nation. This bill will give us the jolt that we need to keep America in the lead, increasing our support for American researchers, scientists, engineers, educators and, most importantly, students, all of whom will turn their ideas into innovative new technologies which will advance our economy and ensure a brighter future for our Nation. This bill provides $150 million for K-12 science, technology, engineering and math education, ensuring that American children won't be left behind as the world moves forward with new technology.
