Fixing mathematics education

Conrad Wolfram spoke about math education at the 2010 Wolfram Technology Conference:

Now, a new initiative has been recently announced at computerbasedmath.org to build a completely new math curriculum with computer-based computation at its heart.

Also see Conrad's Wolfram blog here where he announces that Estonia will be the first country that will completely rewrite their mathematics school curriculum.

Graphica - Scene Graph Language

Like everyone else, I suppose, I have a need to express my creativity. To facilitate this I am coding a small programming language to create graphical art. Although, for me, Mathematica is -the- language to do that I want to have a language that kids of age 8 to 88 ( TinTin or Donald Duck readers ) could learn. By using it geometric transformations like rotations and translations are learned in a natural way.

The graphic like the one below, including the rotation, is an example what the language could create with a few lines, a Mathematica Kernel is required but will run in the background only.
