Hi everybody.
-
This week I'm proud to join the students, teachers, businesses and
-
non-profit organizations taking big new steps to support
-
computer science in America's schools.
-
Learning these skills isn't just important for your future,
-
it's important for our country's future.
-
If we want America to stay on the cutting edge,
-
we need young Americans, like you,
-
to master the tools and technology
-
that will change the way we do just about everything.
-
That's why I'm asking you to get involved.
-
Don't just buy a new video game,
-
make one.
-
Don't just download the latest app,
-
help design it.
-
Don't just play on your phone,
-
program it.
-
No one's born a computer scientist,
-
but with a little hard work, and some math and science,
-
just about anyone can become one.
-
This week is your chance to give it a shot.
-
And don't let anyone tell you "you can't."
-
Whether you're a young man or a young woman,
-
whether you live in a city or a rural area,
-
computers are going to be a big part of your future.
-
And if you're willing to work and study hard,
-
that future is yours to shape.
-
Thanks everybody!
