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

My daughter wanted to be Ada Twist the scientist and there was only one costume that wasn’t available in time. Mama made it herself + baby girl nailed it. 😍 pic.twitter.com/cOXvcpO96B

Listening To Experts

Some good news: states that started social distancing early and aggressively, like California, have avoided overwhelmed health care systems. It’s critical that we continue to listen to the evidence and experts and practice social distancing. https://t.co/56RgGeAfr7

A Lifetime Of Reaching For The Stars

After a lifetime of reaching for the stars, today, Katherine Johnson landed among them. She spent decades as a hidden figure, breaking barriers behind the scenes. But by the end of her life, she had become a hero to millions—including Michelle and me. pic.twitter.com/isG29nwBiB

From 2015, President @BarackObama says Katherine Johnson "was a pioneer who broke the barriers of race and gender, showing generations of young people that everyone can excel in math and science, and reach for the stars." RIP. pic.twitter.com/s05hgjKpMK

We Don’t Fear The Future

In America, we don’t fear the future, we embrace it. 50 years ago, that spirit took us to the moon. Today, it’s embodied by people like Tiffany Davis. She’s a young rocket scientist who is helping us explore the next frontier, wherever that might take us. https://t.co/a573n8hqtG
