How you doing? 2 00:00:03,569 --> 00:00:06,749 [Raw Video: Hour of Code at the White House, December 8 2014] 3 00:00:06,749 --> 00:00:09,900 Good to see you, what's your name? Nice to see you. 4 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:16,680 I just want to say to everybody, Code.org is doing some incredible work and I'm so proud 5 00:00:16,689 --> 00:00:23,199 of the young people who are here today who came down from New Jersey on a big field trip. 6 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:28,459 All across the country, people are doing code. We're starting too late, when it comes to 7 00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:32,960 making sure that our young people are familiar not just with how to play a video game, but 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,560 how to create a video game. (student) Right here it tells you that you have to move forward. 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:44,100 (Obama) Okay you gotta slow down, because I'm an old man. So what's going on? 10 00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:49,940 Because of Code.org, because of collaboration with schools, and because of these outstanding students 11 00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:55,020 somebody in this room I suspect is going to come up with an outstanding new 12 00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:58,860 game or new device or something that I won't be able to figure out but Malia and Sasha 13 00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:03,160 will be able to teach me how to use it. (Vice President Joe Biden) Girls can do anything! 14 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,040 Anything, anything, anything! Don't let anybody tell you you can't. (Obama) Don't give up. 15 00:01:07,049 --> 00:01:11,969 And don't just say, "Well, I'm not good at it. I'm just not going to do it." You gotta 16 00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:17,760 make sure that you stay with it, and that's what teachers are there for. Alright? I'm proud of you guys. 17 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,580 Special thanks to: President Obama and all of the White House staff.
