Technology is growing faster than the rate at which the educational system is evolving, and the distance between these two vital functions of our society needs to be reduced. Utilizing computer science we can provide optimized learning methods to match this proliferating technology and accelerate education.


Gleaning knowledge from aggregate arts and sciences, the creation of supplemental learning tools, used by teachers and students, through poly-sensory experiences, can build solid foundations as a precursor to our future's successful and meaningful experiences in higher education.


New learning methods will accelerate education in a way that provides higher standards so that it catches up to technology. These new horizons will empower the future pioneers of science to explore new frontiers progressing from the technology revolution and information exchange era we live in today.


Imagine if middle school students were introduced to calculus concepts through interactive dimensions that provide an instantaneous understanding of a derivative or integral:

This changes the meaning of what $ \frac{d}{dx}f(x)$ and $\int_a^b f(x) dx$ mean to a student, and these neurological footprints in our youth can be beneficial to our future. This ingrained solid foundation will allow for the affirmation of knowledge when it is learned in higher education, activating and reinforcing neurological connections, as opposed to learning important information for the first time; this type of preparation will metamorphose education into an edifying enlightenment.


Ideally, this projects serves twofold: First, in closing the gap for non-web-technical authors to express ideas and concepts through Web technology without the knowledge of coding or user interface design by mapping a typesetting language to interactive programming. Second, in providing deep, educational experiences for our youth to engage more in the sciences, and begin to use exploration and creativity in learning through interactive textbooks.
