Former US first lady Barbara Bush is
promoting literacy on her 90th birthday.
Bush
is lending her backing to a US$7 million challenge by X Prize and Dollar
General. They're challenging developers to create a mobile app to help improve
adult literacy skills.
The
original X Prize was awarded 11 years ago for privately funded, suborbital flight.
Since then, there have been other X Prize competitions aimed at spurring
innovation.
Bush
family members — including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — are in Kennebunkport
for her birthday on Monday. A gala is planned for Monday night and a tent has
been erected on the grounds of St. Ann's Church.
