Hour of Code with Russell Okung

  • 0:14 - 0:17
    What's happening everybody? Hey everybody!
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    I'm Russell Okung. I'm an offensive tackle in the National Football League.
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    I was first introduced into computer science when I was in high school.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    All right, what do we got first?
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    You click on "move left"...
  • 0:32 - 0:38
    Computer science is becoming more and more of a factor in our world and our economy.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    So there's no better time than now to take advantage.
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    All right, who want's to make the next Facebook?
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    Let's do it!
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    What makes me passionate about computer science education is just the realm of possibilities.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    Okay well one of you guys is going to show me how to do this. Is that okay?
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    Offscreen: I got you!
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    Who? Who said that?
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    You can be a lot more if you focus.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    If you try things that are outside your comfort zone.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    I hope you guys want to be entrepreneurs.
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    You want to have your own business. You want to create an opportunity for your family.
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    You want to create your own app or your own platform, or whatever...
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    And I'm here to say today that you can do that.
  • 1:13 - 1:18
    As much as I'm grateful for where I'm at, I realize a lot of people don't get the same opportunity.
  • 1:18 - 1:24
    So I encourage children and people who get into computer science to know that...
  • 1:24 - 1:30
    though it may be difficult your ability to be resilient and persevere through situations
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    can bring you the success you want to see.
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    I'm not scoring though.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    You're not doing a very good job.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    (laughs) I'm not doing a good job.
