    I stopped the video a minute it. I don't know who the interviewer is - but don't cut off the President. Have some respect.

    Mr President. I learned a lot from many of my teachers when it came to STEM. We the students just don't or didn't know it was a career.

    I'm so excited to learn about stem now that I'm in 5th.
  • I can't understand why Re/code has such few views on it's video all the times..
  • One thing that is right and so true is that most girls usually drift away from the interest of stem education around when they are in 7th and 8th grade

    We  do  need  a  new  education system. Based on creativity, individuality  and  digitality. Because  this  is  the  future.
    We  do  need  a  much  more  freely  system not  controlled  by  the govs. I  do strongly believe it  is  time  for  humans  to  take  accountability  of  their  own destinies. To  start with the  children. We  are  born as individuals. We must learn  as  individuals.We are  all here for  a  reason. We must discover wich reason. Then, only then  we  can  start  live  a  fulfilled  life.

    Seriously, she needs to stop cutting him off.

    Ouch.
  • I agree with Obama that stem education has to be for everybody and not only certain students. Dmitri the illustrious was a certain student and look at what I had to do to police him while I wasn't a chosen student at k state like he was.

    Writing code is not science. It’s very useful particularly if you are a scientific person but it’s not science. Mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering science are all difficult. Most people get lazy and give up. If you want to reverse the trends you have to encourage people - give them self belief and set the bar high.
  • Is it possible that women and African-Americans don't like STEM? Is it possible that they naturally don't like it? Is it possible that God made men and women different? Is it necessarily a problem if some groups don't like STEM? Is everyone supposed to be the same?
  • TLDR STEM DoD research something something national security something something global competiviness. Your welcome.

    Who declared that for society to be “fair” everythang must be distributed per the demographic?
    If I were a woman who could leverage my gender, I would not waste that on STEM where three days a week are spent in mind and butt numbing project, budget and schedule status meetings, where creativity is stifled by risk averse managers who fear looking bad and career advancement is found kissing up the big dogs after work in fern bars and Saturday morning golf games.
    STEM is Dilbert plus Caddy Shack.
    Who would choose that if there were another way?
