Bright Students

There’s nothing I love more than meeting with young people. Today, I had the chance to talk with some of the bright high school students from DC with @ReachHigher who shared their stories and plans for the future. I’m so proud of them and can't wait to follow their journeys. pic.twitter.com/IfG65DrJ5x

Just The Beginning

I’m so proud of the young women I met in Hawaiʻi.

They’re teaching their peers about mental health, tutoring classmates in coding, and educating their community about the criminal justice system.

For them, this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see what they do next. 💕 pic.twitter.com/xmTk0eQe4Z

STEM: 100,000

In 2011, my Administration made a pledge to prepare 100,000 new STEM teachers over the next 10 years. I couldn't be prouder to hear that @100Kin10 not only met that goal, but trained an additional 8,000 teachers who will make a difference for our kids. https://t.co/NI2J779IYS pic.twitter.com/uLqbuRjEeF
