On November 23, 2009, NASA's Science Mission Directorate, supported by SESDA II staff members, participated in the launch of President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" Campaign for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Education. The event was held in the South Court Auditorium at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Our staff provided the Dynamic Planet digital video globe as an example of an interactive learning tool for students of all ages. The system was on stage with the President as he made his remarks. "I want to thank NASA and Charlie (Bolden) for providing the interactive globe — an innovative and engaging way of teaching young people about our world." The full text of the President's remarks can be found at the following link:
Following the event, the students in attendance were able to briefly interact with the Dynamic Planet.
