What's happening everybody? Hey everybody!
-
I'm Russell Okung. I'm an offensive tackle in the National Football League.
-
I was first introduced into computer science when I was in high school.
-
All right, what do we got first?
-
You click on "move left"...
-
Computer science is becoming more and more of a factor in our world and our economy.
-
So there's no better time than now to take advantage.
-
All right, who want's to make the next Facebook?
-
Let's do it!
-
What makes me passionate about computer science education is just the realm of possibilities.
-
Okay well one of you guys is going to show me how to do this. Is that okay?
-
Offscreen: I got you!
-
Who? Who said that?
-
You can be a lot more if you focus.
-
If you try things that are outside your comfort zone.
-
I hope you guys want to be entrepreneurs.
-
You want to have your own business. You want to create an opportunity for your family.
-
You want to create your own app or your own platform, or whatever...
-
And I'm here to say today that you can do that.
-
As much as I'm grateful for where I'm at, I realize a lot of people don't get the same opportunity.
-
So I encourage children and people who get into computer science to know that...
-
though it may be difficult your ability to be resilient and persevere through situations
-
can bring you the success you want to see.
-
I'm not scoring though.
-
You're not doing a very good job.
-
(laughs) I'm not doing a good job.
