that's cool and all, but why are these kids acting like youtube or other great sources have not always been around.
On a real note tho: we really need to invest more in our schools (K-12). The smarter everybody is, the better it is for the development of all humanity. Somehow politicians do not understand that, or maybe they just don't want their power questioned.

Who taught Alexis? I'd say he and his teacher both need recognition. One for inspiring him and Alexis for helping others.
