Have your student start looking for information about the National
Defense Education Act, which became federal law in 1958. The NDEA
provided financial support to US schools to help them beef up science
and mathematics education, following the embarrassing realization that
our space program efforts were running substantially behind the USSR's
accomplishments.
Best wishes,
