Girl
Scouts are at the 2015 White House Science Fair today. If you didn't get a chance to stream the event, check out what one very important person had to say!
A transcript from President Obama's remarks about "The Supergirls":
“I
should give special mention to our Girl Scouts from Oklahoma. Where are those
Super Girls? (Applause.) They’re standing up, but you can’t really see
them -- (laughter) -- because they’re in kindergarten and first grade. They are today’s youngest scientists at six
years old. They built their device out
of Legos. They realized that some people
who might be paralyzed or arthritic might have trouble turning pages on a book
so they invented this page turner. It
was awesome. It was working so well,
despite the fact, as they pointed out -- this is a quote, they said, “This is
just a prototype.” (Laughter.) That’s what they said. I said, well, how’d you come up with the
idea? They said, well, we had a
brainstorming session. (Laughter.) And then one of them asked, “Mr. President,
have you had brainstorming sessions?”
(Laughter.) I said, yes, but I
didn’t come up with something as cool as this -- (laughter) -- an automatic
page turner. Unbelievable.”
We agree Mr. President!
