Hi everybody.

0:00:01.900,0:00:05.800
This week I'm proud to join the students, teachers, businesses and

0:00:05.800,0:00:09.100
non-profit organizations taking big new steps to support

0:00:09.100,0:00:11.400
computer science in America's schools.

0:00:11.469,0:00:14.599
Learning these skills isn't just important for your future,

0:00:14.599,0:00:17.000
it's important for our country's future.

0:00:17.000,0:00:19.400
If we want America to stay on the cutting edge,

0:00:19.400,0:00:21.300
we need young Americans, like you,

0:00:21.300,0:00:24.000
to master the tools and technology

0:00:24.000,0:00:26.200
that will change the way we do just about everything.

0:00:26.220,0:00:30.000
That's why I'm asking you to get involved.

0:00:30.000,0:00:31.830
Don't just buy a new video game,

0:00:31.830,0:00:33.000
make one.

0:00:33.000,0:00:35.400
Don't just download the latest app,

0:00:35.400,0:00:37.000
help design it.

0:00:37.000,0:00:38.800
Don't just play on your phone,

0:00:38.800,0:00:40.000
program it.

0:00:40.000,0:00:42.900
No one's born a computer scientist,

0:00:42.900,0:00:46.050
but with a little hard work, and some math and science,

0:00:46.050,0:00:48.800
just about anyone can become one.

0:00:48.800,0:00:51.100
This week is your chance to give it a shot.

0:00:51.100,0:00:53.900
And don't let anyone tell you "you can't."

0:00:53.900,0:00:57.039
Whether you're a young man or a young woman,

0:00:57.039,0:00:59.800
whether you live in a city or a rural area,

0:00:59.800,0:01:02.170
computers are going to be a big part of your future.

0:01:02.170,0:01:04.500
And if you're willing to work and study hard,

0:01:04.500,0:01:08.000
that future is yours to shape.

0:01:08.000,0:01:09.000
Thanks everybody!
