Good morning, guys. How you doing? You got some real scientists in here, huh?
Yes.
And Engineers.
And Engineers?
Yes.
Fantastic.
My favorite thing about science is that you can do different things like...
…leadership and the presence of leadership in terms of thinking about where the innovators
of tomorrow are going to come from, this is where they're coming from, right here, with
you now. And learning about trial and error, initially the part may not work, you know,
and then after a few tries, you know, getting them to work and that's really a great lesson,
a great skill for these kids for their entire lifetime.
This is a start. You know, this is sort of amazing to see, just a couple of months in.
We're going to see thousands of scientists helping out in classrooms around the country.
This is amazing and this is what students need. Science has to be fun, it has to be
engaging, it has to be hands on; we have to great mentors and role models in. So I couldn't
be more proud of the hard work that these guys are doing, and to see this have national
impact in three, four months, amazing. And it's just a start and we'll keep getting better.
As we were talking earlier, this is a, you know, very tough budget times out there around
the country now in terms of education. Nothing you saw in here expensive. This is all, you
know, you know, cheap, inexpensive but high quality, high engagement and I think this
is going to help produce this next generation of scientists, of engineers, of innovators.
And so having real role models in these classrooms, you can't put a price on that. It's huge.
So this is really, really fun. I just want to thank all the volunteers here for your
help. Please kids, give all the adults a round of applause, please. Thank them for coming
in because these guys are busy. They're working hard, they're trying to make a living and
they want to come help us.
