Here’s a story that I saw on ABC News,

President Obama hosted the White House Science Fair yesterday (March 23rd). Which has become an annual event in his administration where students show off their achievements in science, technology, engineering and math.

One group that got a lot of attention were six-year-olds from an Oklahoma Girl Scout troop. The “Supergirls” Junior FIRST Lego League Team — who were all wearing Supergirl-style capes — built an automated device out of Legos to help people with arthritis turn pages of books. As they showed off their invention to the president, they explained it was a “prototype,” and told him they’d come up with the idea by brainstorming.

When they asked him, “Have you ever had a brainstorming session yourself?”, Obama said yes, but that he’d never come up with something as good as they did, joking, “I came up with things like health care.”

How sweet!
