    The XPrize Foundation has announced a new challenge to create software that teaches children to read, write, and perform arithmetic without the need for a teacher. They are doing this as an effort to improve and augment our current education system and to reach the 250 million children around the world that don’t have basic literacy skills. The foundation is offering a $15 million dollar prize in an effort to create valuable educational software and to build communities around open source education.
