1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,870
Tim Kopra: Greetings from
the International Space

2
00:00:01,868 --> 00:00:02,598
Station.

3
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:05,402
I'm Space Station Commander
Tim Kopra of NASA,

4
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:07,005
with my NASA crewmate
Jeff Williams.

5
00:00:07,006 --> 00:00:10,176
Jeff Williams: We wanted to
help kick off today's

6
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:14,246
celebration from the coolest
science lab anywhere,

7
00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:16,447
250 miles above the earth.

8
00:00:16,449 --> 00:00:18,449
Just like all of the
students at the White House

9
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:21,451
today, and those across the
country creating their own

10
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:24,494
science projects, we love
the work we're able to do in

11
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:27,061
orbit to expand our
knowledge and understanding

12
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,060
of the universe.

13
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:29,661
Tim Kopra: You
know, in fact,

14
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:31,962
we recently received a
shipment of new science

15
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:34,465
experiments and equipment
that we're very excited to

16
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:35,467
be part of.

17
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:37,908
In the coming weeks and
months we're going to be

18
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:40,874
tracking meteors, creating
unique spare parts with our

19
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:43,944
new 3D printer, and grabbing
objects in space with our

20
00:00:43,943 --> 00:00:46,283
brand-new Gecko Gripper.

21
00:00:46,279 --> 00:00:48,919
So there is so much to learn
and understand about our

22
00:00:48,915 --> 00:00:51,385
world and our
universe around us,

23
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,784
and we can't wait to see
what the next generation of

24
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:57,527
scientists, engineers, and
innovators come up with.

25
00:00:57,524 --> 00:00:59,524
It is you, the
students of today,

26
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:02,026
who will be instrumental in
achieving some of our

27
00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:05,028
nation's biggest goals of
the future including

28
00:01:05,031 --> 00:01:07,271
bringing the first ever
American men and women to

29
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:08,597
the surface of Mars.

30
00:01:08,601 --> 00:01:11,701
Jeff Williams: So, to all of
the students, teachers,

31
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:13,444
parents, and
mentors out there,

32
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,810
remember: there's no limit
to what you can learn.

33
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:19,750
Thank you for your passion
and commitment to discovery,

34
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:21,446
and have a great
science fair.

35
00:01:21,448 --> 00:01:26,458
Knatokie Ford: Wow!

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,630
From the Space Station to
the East Garden,

37
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:40,599
good afternoon, and welcome
to the sixth annual White

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600
House Science Fair, the last
science fair of the Obama

39
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:44,773
administration.

40
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:48,071
My name is Dr. Knatokie Ford
and I am a senior policy

41
00:01:48,074 --> 00:01:51,144
advisor here at the White
House Office of Science and

42
00:01:51,144 --> 00:01:52,614
Technology Policy.

43
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:55,082
I am joined by some
incredible women.

44
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:57,321
We have with us
Ms. Karlie Kloss,

45
00:01:57,317 --> 00:02:01,117
who is a model and founder
of Kode With Karlie.

46
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Welcome, Karlie.

47
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:04,555
Karlie Kloss: Thank
you for having me.

48
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,157
Dr. Knatokie Ford: Also, we
have Ms. Yara Shahidi,

49
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,059
who is a STEM advocate
and an actress,

50
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:12,031
so you might know her from
or as Zoey Johnson from

51
00:02:12,031 --> 00:02:12,971
Black-ish.

52
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:13,666
Yara Shahidi: Yes.

53
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:14,936
Knatokie Ford: So thank you
both for being here with us.

54
00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:19,804
Yara Shahidi: Thank
you for having us!

55
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,776
Knatokie Ford: Now, for
those of you who do not

56
00:02:21,774 --> 00:02:23,774
know, the science fair was
started in 2010 by President

57
00:02:23,776 --> 00:02:25,776
Obama as a way to recognize
and celebrate amazing

58
00:02:25,778 --> 00:02:27,778
students from across the
country who are doing

59
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,320
awesome things in the
domains of science,

60
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:34,186
technology, engineering, and
math, or STEM.

61
00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:36,187
The president wanted to
celebrate these students in

62
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:38,329
the same way that we
acknowledge our athletes who

63
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:41,464
win championships like the
Super Bowl or the NBA

64
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:42,461
finals.

65
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:45,562
The science fair is also a
very important part of the

66
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:48,435
president's Educate to
Innovate campaign,

67
00:02:48,434 --> 00:02:50,904
which is a tremendously
important way of getting

68
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:54,274
more girls and boys
interested in and excelling

69
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:55,944
in STEM subjects.

70
00:02:55,942 --> 00:03:01,982
This year we have more than
six agencies and also 100

71
00:03:01,981 --> 00:03:04,121
organizations that are
announcing some tremendous

72
00:03:04,117 --> 00:03:06,957
commitments that are
designed to help accelerate

73
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:07,953
STEM learning.

74
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:12,394
And as of this year also, we
have accumulated more than

75
00:03:12,392 --> 00:03:14,992
$1 billion --
that's "billion,

76
00:03:14,994 --> 00:03:17,764
" with a B -- investments
from the private sector that

77
00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:20,864
are all designed to help
support our students and

78
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:21,997
STEM education.

79
00:03:22,001 --> 00:03:22,831
Yara Shahidi: That's
amazing.

80
00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:24,005
Karlie Kloss: That's so
incredible, yeah.

81
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:27,103
Knatokie Ford: In the spirit
of going out with a bang,

82
00:03:27,106 --> 00:03:30,106
this science fair is our
biggest one yet.

83
00:03:30,109 --> 00:03:35,179
We have with us more than
140 students from 30 states,

84
00:03:35,181 --> 00:03:38,381
representing more than 40
organizations and STEM

85
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:39,384
competitions.

86
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:42,085
So it is an amazing group of
people that are here today,

87
00:03:42,088 --> 00:03:44,858
from students who are trying
to combat climate change to

88
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:48,157
finding new ways to treat
cancer to even turning

89
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:51,701
science fiction into science
fact by being a part of the

90
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:52,828
Mars generation.

91
00:03:52,832 --> 00:03:55,632
So, wow, we are in
awesome company.

92
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:59,875
So, with that, I think it's
time for us to meet some of

93
00:03:59,872 --> 00:04:00,942
these awesome students,
right?

94
00:04:00,940 --> 00:04:01,810
Yara Shahidi: Let's do it!

95
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:02,378
Karlie Kloss: Absolutely.

96
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,375
Hi, guys.

97
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:05,177
Yara Shahidi: Hello!

98
00:04:05,178 --> 00:04:06,178
Knatokie Ford: Hello.

99
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:07,719
Tell us your name and a
little bit about your

100
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:09,484
project.

101
00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:11,352
Isha Shah: I'm Isha Shah.

102
00:04:11,351 --> 00:04:14,191
Basically, we're all in the
Future Cities program,

103
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:17,257
and Future Cities is a STEM
program in which you design

104
00:04:17,256 --> 00:04:19,756
a city 150 years
into the future.

105
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,759
Knatokie Ford: Wow!

106
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,490
Karlie Kloss: Wow.

107
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:22,494
Knatokie Ford: How many
years into the future?

108
00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:23,465
Isha Shah: 150.

109
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:25,003
Knatokie Ford: A hundred and
fifty years into the future.

110
00:04:24,998 --> 00:04:26,498
Karlie Kloss: That's
incredible.

111
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:27,399
Knatokie Ford: And tell us
your name as well.

112
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,370
Sydney Lin: I'm Sydney Lin.

113
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:29,438
Knatokie Ford: Sydney Lin.

114
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:30,775
Krishna Patel: I'm Krishna
Patel.

115
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:31,640
Knatokie Ford: Krishna. So

116
00:04:31,638 --> 00:04:34,578
what are the things that
you're looking for 100-plus

117
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:35,274
years into the future?

118
00:04:35,274 --> 00:04:36,744
What are you designing a
part of the cities for the

119
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:38,243
future?

120
00:04:38,244 --> 00:04:40,244
Isha Shah: One of the things
that we're designing is a

121
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:42,716
waste-free city as our theme
for this year was "Waste

122
00:04:42,715 --> 00:04:44,215
Not, Want Not." So we
designed everything from

123
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:46,757
waste management to waste
transportation to waste

124
00:04:46,753 --> 00:04:47,753
collection.

125
00:04:47,754 --> 00:04:49,724
Knatokie Ford: Awesome.

126
00:04:49,722 --> 00:04:51,422
And what grade are
you guys in?

127
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:52,824
Isha Shah: I'm in
seventh grade.

128
00:04:52,825 --> 00:04:54,165
Sydney Lin: I'm also in
seventh grade.

129
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,700
Krishna Patel: I'm in eighth
grade.

130
00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:57,465
Knatokie Ford: Were you guys
designing cities in middle

131
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:58,503
school?

132
00:04:58,498 --> 00:04:59,868
Karlie Kloss: I was not.

133
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:03,836
Yara Shahidi: How long did
this project take you guys?

134
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:06,836
Sydney Lin: I think it took
us about -- well, actually,

135
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,839
I think we started at the
very beginning of the school

136
00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:10,841
year, but we've been
participating in this

137
00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:13,783
competition since last year.

138
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:16,250
We have a lot of knowledge
and experience from last

139
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:19,849
year that contributed to our
winning this year.

140
00:05:19,852 --> 00:05:20,622
Karlie Kloss: That's
amazing.

141
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:21,450
Knatokie Ford: Amazing.

142
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:22,424
Karlie Kloss: I want to ask
-- how did you guys think

143
00:05:22,422 --> 00:05:25,222
about sort of issues that we
face now and also in the

144
00:05:25,224 --> 00:05:28,564
future, like energy and
water and, you know,

145
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:31,831
all of the things that a
city has to think about now

146
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:33,971
and 150 years in the future?

147
00:05:33,966 --> 00:05:35,766
Krishna Patel: Well, since
we knew that our main topic

148
00:05:35,768 --> 00:05:38,168
was waste management, we
wanted to start with that.

149
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,711
And our city is built on
Jakarta, Indonesia,

150
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:45,478
and Jakarta -- it had lots
of problems with pollution

151
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:49,018
and overpopulation, so from
there it was really easy to

152
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,585
think about how we could
maximize space,

153
00:05:51,584 --> 00:05:55,824
how we could maximize, how
we could use different types

154
00:05:55,822 --> 00:05:56,852
of energy procedures.

155
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,856
Just in case one thing shut
off,

156
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,798
we would have three
back-ups.

157
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:01,863
Knatokie Ford: Wow.

158
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:02,961
Incredible.

159
00:06:02,962 --> 00:06:06,232
So what's next for you guys
after this?

160
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:08,372
Sydney Lin: Well --

161
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,537
Isha Shah: More
competitions, I guess.

162
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:12,735
Karlie Kloss: You should
sell your plan for -- to any

163
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,169
city around the world.

164
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:16,313
Yeah, you're living --
you're creating the future.

165
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:17,279
It's amazing.

166
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:17,906
Knatokie Ford: Wonderful.

167
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:19,150
Well, thank you all so much.

168
00:06:19,145 --> 00:06:20,445
Thank you all for being
here.

169
00:06:20,446 --> 00:06:26,186
We're going to have you step
off this way.

170
00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:26,815
Yara Shahidi: Thank you.

171
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:28,389
Knatokie Ford: We have a
live animal joining us here.

172
00:06:28,387 --> 00:06:29,487
Tell us your name.

173
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:30,089
Karlie Kloss: Wow.

174
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:32,129
Mikayla Ockels: Mikayla
Ockels, and this is Liberty.

175
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:33,425
Karlie Kloss: Hi, Liberty.

176
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:34,626
Mikayla Ockels:
(inaudible) -- okay.

177
00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:37,367
Knatokie Ford: Tell us about
your project and Liberty.

178
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:38,163
Mikayla Ockels: Sure.

179
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:41,504
Liberty is a heritage breed
of laying hen.

180
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:43,441
This is a breed that's
hardy.

181
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:45,676
It can thrive in an outdoor
environment.

182
00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:49,171
I used these breeds --
there's about 50 of them --

183
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:52,445
on my pasture-raised laying
hen business.

184
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:55,145
I raise hens in a
pasture-raised setting where

185
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:58,248
they're allowed outside
every day to roam freely,

186
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:00,951
and I studied feed-to-egg
conversion ratios in

187
00:07:00,953 --> 00:07:02,723
different breeds of these
hens.

188
00:07:02,722 --> 00:07:05,862
I studied six breeds and I
calculated which requires

189
00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:09,298
the least amount of feed to
produce the most eggs.

190
00:07:09,295 --> 00:07:11,935
I found from my research,
weighing the hens every

191
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:14,631
morning and every night and
factoring in the weights of

192
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:17,434
the eggs that they laid,
that the Rhode Island Reds

193
00:07:17,436 --> 00:07:18,876
were the most profitable.

194
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:21,371
They were followed by Silver
Laced Wyandottes and,

195
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:23,374
finally, Buff Orpingtons
like Liberty.

196
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:24,706
Knatokie Ford: Wow.

197
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:27,510
So Rhode Island Reds were --
does the name -- what does

198
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:29,913
the name -- could you
describe a little bit about

199
00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:31,956
these different breeds of
chicken, and just, like,

200
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:33,821
what accounted for the
differences?

201
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:34,650
Mikayla Ockels: Sure.

202
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:37,424
Rhode Island Reds were the
best layers,

203
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:39,963
and I think that that's
because they're a

204
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:41,089
lighter-bodied bird.

205
00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:43,463
They've been bred for egg
production solely.

206
00:07:43,462 --> 00:07:46,962
If you go on down the line
to Brahmas and Marans,

207
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:50,436
my worst -- my lowest two
layers,

208
00:07:50,436 --> 00:07:52,906
they're actually breeds that
are heavier-bodied,

209
00:07:52,905 --> 00:07:54,875
and they're called dual
purpose,

210
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:56,544
so they're meat and eggs.

211
00:07:56,542 --> 00:07:59,042
They wouldn't be as focused
towards egg production,

212
00:07:59,045 --> 00:08:01,515
which would probably account
for their lower production

213
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:02,514
rates.

214
00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:04,815
Yara Shahidi: Now, how did
you get the chicken to the

215
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:05,817
White House?

216
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:06,818
How did you get Liberty
here?

217
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:07,819
Karlie Kloss: It's true.

218
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:09,820
Security was pretty tight on
the way in.

219
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,862
Mikayla Ockels: She traveled
in her very specialized cat

220
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:12,858
carrier.

221
00:08:12,859 --> 00:08:13,859
Knatokie Ford: Cat carrier?

222
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:15,860
Karlie Kloss: She's
well-behaved.

223
00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:17,862
Mikayla Ockels: Yes, and
we're from Delaware,

224
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:19,394
so it's a short drive.

225
00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:21,538
Yara Shahidi: I applaud you,
because I couldn't get my

226
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:23,604
brothers to behave this well
last time we were here.

227
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:24,873
(clucking)

228
00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:25,341
Mikayla Ockels: I think
Liberty wants to say

229
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:25,738
something.

230
00:08:25,738 --> 00:08:26,208
No?

231
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:27,105
Okay.

232
00:08:27,106 --> 00:08:28,076
Karlie Kloss: That's
incredible.

233
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:29,304
Mikayla Ockels: Thank you.

234
00:08:29,308 --> 00:08:30,138
Knatokie Ford: So what's
next for you?

235
00:08:30,142 --> 00:08:31,842
What do you see yourself
doing as a professional?

236
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:34,914
What's your dream job?

237
00:08:34,914 --> 00:08:37,084
Mikayla Ockels: Well, right
now I really love growing my

238
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:38,723
animal businesses
that I have.

239
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:41,258
My chicken business has
recently expanded to 100

240
00:08:41,254 --> 00:08:42,384
birds --

241
00:08:42,388 --> 00:08:43,388
Yara Shahidi: Wow.

242
00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:44,789
Karlie Kloss: Due to your
research about which ones

243
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:45,990
perform the best, so you
have --

244
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:47,062
Mikayla Ockels: Yep.

245
00:08:47,059 --> 00:08:50,159
So I'm using that in my
business right now,

246
00:08:50,162 --> 00:08:51,562
actually, to make it more
profitable.

247
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:52,964
I have a beekeeping
business.

248
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:56,035
I raise beehives and I
collect the honey and sell

249
00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:58,605
it, and then also
goat-raising business.

250
00:08:58,604 --> 00:09:00,074
Yara Shahidi: What got you
started into the

251
00:09:00,072 --> 00:09:01,642
animal-raising business?

252
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:02,871
This is fascinating.

253
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:05,915
Mikayla Ockels: Well, I live
on a 4, 000-acre

254
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:09,652
farm first of all,
and then I've just always

255
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:10,619
loved animals.

256
00:09:10,616 --> 00:09:13,316
When I was 10, I got a
horse, I got my chickens,

257
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:15,959
and that really started it
for me, I guess.

258
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:17,795
Karlie Kloss: That's
amazing.

259
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:18,930
Knatokie Ford: Well, thank
you so much.

260
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:20,995
It's been a wonderful
interview with you and we've

261
00:09:20,993 --> 00:09:22,633
enjoyed Liberty.

262
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:23,328
Karlie Kloss: We have.

263
00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:23,829
Yara Shahidi: Nice to meet
you, Liberty.

264
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:24,529
Knatokie Ford:
Congratulations for being

265
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:25,030
here.

266
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:25,531
Awesome.

267
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:26,201
Thank you so much.

268
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:26,898
Mikayla Ockels: Thank you.

269
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:28,569
Karlie Kloss: Thank you.

270
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:30,002
Knatokie Ford: Hello!

271
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:30,972
Come on up.

272
00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:33,340
Tell us your name and about
your project.

273
00:09:33,339 --> 00:09:35,609
Olivia Hallisey: I'm Olivia
Hallisey and my project is

274
00:09:35,608 --> 00:09:37,778
like a rapid
temperature-independent --

275
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:39,817
so it doesn't need to be
refrigerated -- visual test

276
00:09:39,812 --> 00:09:43,282
for Ebola, but it can also
be applied to other diseases

277
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:47,852
like Zika, dengue fever,
Lyme disease.

278
00:09:47,853 --> 00:09:49,553
Yara Shahidi: Wow.

279
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:51,055
Knatokie Ford: So what got
you interested in this and

280
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:52,157
how did you get your start?

281
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:53,858
This is, like, very hot
topic right now,

282
00:09:53,859 --> 00:09:55,829
especially with Zika and
Ebola in the news.

283
00:09:55,828 --> 00:09:56,758
Olivia Hallisey: Yeah.

284
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:59,732
I'm in a science research
course at school and

285
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,332
everybody does an
independent project.

286
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,334
I didn't really know what
I wanted to do,

287
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:05,076
so I started looking
in the news,

288
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:07,171
and that was last fall when
Ebola was huge.

289
00:10:07,173 --> 00:10:09,613
And what was so shocking to
me was how quickly it was

290
00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:12,508
spreading and how it just
seemed to target an area,

291
00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:14,511
then grow exponentially
within that area,

292
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:16,513
so I wanted to find ways to
limit the spread,

293
00:10:16,515 --> 00:10:19,085
and the best way to do that
is through diagnostic tools.

294
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:21,485
Knatokie Ford: Wow, that's
awesome.

295
00:10:21,487 --> 00:10:24,057
Karlie Kloss: That's
incredible.

296
00:10:24,056 --> 00:10:26,656
Knatokie Ford: So what was
your finding in terms of the

297
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:27,659
diagnostic tool?

298
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,660
What was the specific thing
that you uncovered with your

299
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:30,662
research?

300
00:10:30,663 --> 00:10:32,663
Olivia Hallisey: I took a
current method of testing

301
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:34,665
and applied it to a new
format that allows it to be

302
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:36,667
sustainable, because now it
uses photo paper and filter

303
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:37,669
paper.

304
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:39,710
So it took the cost down
from about $1,000 to $5.

305
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:44,445
It also took the time down
from two hours to 30

306
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:46,513
minutes, and it's
temperature-independent,

307
00:10:46,512 --> 00:10:47,882
so it needs no
refrigeration,

308
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,880
so now you can just -- it's
a little card,

309
00:10:49,882 --> 00:10:52,222
like a playing card, so you
could drop it in areas with

310
00:10:52,218 --> 00:10:55,288
highly infected individuals,
or you could have it at

311
00:10:55,287 --> 00:10:56,287
travel checkpoints.

312
00:10:56,288 --> 00:10:58,828
Now it's really just a more
viable solution to be used

313
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:01,194
on a mass scale that we need
with these infectious

314
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:02,193
diseases.

315
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:04,694
And also it could be a home
test because it's so rapid.

316
00:11:04,697 --> 00:11:07,697
Knatokie Ford: Wow, so you
cut costs and time in terms

317
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,040
of getting the result.

318
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:10,875
That is incredible.

319
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:13,070
Karlie Kloss: Are there
other people out there -- I

320
00:11:13,072 --> 00:11:16,612
mean, given that those are
such important issues in the

321
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:19,349
world today, are there other
companies out there doing

322
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,515
this kind of research or
creating this kind of test,

323
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:23,514
or do you need to take this
public?

324
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,586
Olivia Hallisey: I think a
lot of people,

325
00:11:25,584 --> 00:11:27,584
especially when Ebola was so
big,

326
00:11:27,586 --> 00:11:29,586
were trying to work on it,
so it was actually -- we had

327
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:32,828
a little bit of a pushback
trying to get the antibodies

328
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:34,825
and reagents I needed
because other people were

329
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:35,827
trying to work on it.

330
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:38,768
But I really -- my goal is
to have this test be used in

331
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:40,764
the field and actually have
it help people,

332
00:11:40,766 --> 00:11:42,766
because that was from the
beginning really my end

333
00:11:42,768 --> 00:11:43,768
goal.

334
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:45,769
So I definitely want to have
it come to fruition and be

335
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:47,511
used.

336
00:11:47,506 --> 00:11:48,806
Yara Shahidi: That's
amazing.

337
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:50,608
Karlie Kloss: Congrats.

338
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,709
Knatokie Ford: So what's
next for you?

339
00:11:52,711 --> 00:11:55,411
Olivia Hallisey: Right now
I'm working on publishing a

340
00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:59,184
paper about my research, and
also applying it to Zika and

341
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:01,455
Lyme disease and other
diseases like that.

342
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,524
And, yeah.

343
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:04,391
Knatokie Ford: And how old
are you again?

344
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,060
Karlie Kloss: I know.

345
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:06,497
Olivia Hallisey: I'm a
junior in high school.

346
00:12:06,492 --> 00:12:08,562
Knatokie Ford: Incredible.

347
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,831
Well, thank you so much for
the amazing work that you're

348
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:12,400
doing, and congratulations
on being here.

349
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:13,468
Karlie Kloss: Yes.

350
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:13,996
Yara Shahidi: Yeah.

351
00:12:13,999 --> 00:12:14,899
Very cool.

352
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:18,570
I thought AP calculus was
difficult.

353
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:20,241
Karlie Kloss: I mean --
that's amazing.

354
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:21,339
Knatokie Ford: Step right on
up!

355
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:23,410
Tell us your name and about
your project.

356
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,249
Jacob Bosarge: I'm Jacob,
and we're actually members

357
00:12:25,244 --> 00:12:28,014
from the first place RobotEx
team from Alabama's BEST

358
00:12:28,013 --> 00:12:29,683
RobotEx competition.

359
00:12:29,682 --> 00:12:32,782
And what this is, is an
annual competition where

360
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:34,425
high school students can
come together,

361
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:38,620
and from certain industries
problems are chosen by one

362
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:41,824
of the Hubs, and these
problems are then given to

363
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:44,827
the students, as well as a
list of raw materials and a

364
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:45,870
timeframe.

365
00:12:45,865 --> 00:12:48,965
And the students are to work
on these problems and come

366
00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:50,238
up with different
solutions to them.

367
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:51,736
And one of the really cool
things about this

368
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:54,277
competition is that it's not
just a robotics competition.

369
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:57,673
It's more so -- it's aimed
to mimic industry,

370
00:12:57,676 --> 00:13:00,676
so we go through the entire
process that an industry or

371
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,779
a company would to design a
product, build it, test it,

372
00:13:03,782 --> 00:13:06,722
and also to market it and
sell it to a client.

373
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:08,389
Karlie Kloss: Wow.

374
00:13:08,387 --> 00:13:08,787
Knatokie Ford: What's your
name?

375
00:13:08,787 --> 00:13:09,887
Rupa Palanki: Hi, I'm Rupa,
and over the course of 42

376
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:11,629
days, not only do we create
a robot,

377
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,124
we create a marketing
presentation,

378
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,495
two technical notebooks, a
website,

379
00:13:14,493 --> 00:13:17,193
lots of social media and
publicity,

380
00:13:17,196 --> 00:13:18,566
and all sorts of different
things.

381
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:20,134
It's a crazy 42 days.

382
00:13:20,132 --> 00:13:21,172
Also, this --

383
00:13:21,167 --> 00:13:22,037
Knatokie Ford: Only in 42
days, you said?

384
00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:22,864
Rupa Palanki: Yes, ma'am.

385
00:13:22,868 --> 00:13:23,798
Knatokie Ford: Wow.

386
00:13:23,802 --> 00:13:27,002
Rupa Palanki: And also, this
year a real big goal of ours

387
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:29,276
was safety in mining, to
promote that idea.

388
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:31,575
We actually named our robot
Walter to honor the men who

389
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,617
were involved in the mining
accident in Alabama,

390
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:35,312
which is where we live.

391
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:36,814
Knatokie Ford: Incredible.

392
00:13:36,815 --> 00:13:37,855
And (inaudible)?

393
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:39,890
Nolan Lenard: I'm Nolan.

394
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:42,725
I've been involved a lot in
the overall production of

395
00:13:42,721 --> 00:13:45,321
the robot, mainly the
software aspect and

396
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:47,724
programming the robot.

397
00:13:47,726 --> 00:13:50,096
The primary goal of the
robot is to replace the

398
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:54,035
human element in dangerous
mining operations.

399
00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:57,603
Things are very hazardous
for humans to do in mining,

400
00:13:57,603 --> 00:14:01,473
replacing things, so the
actual game field that they

401
00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:04,613
have developed, that BEST
developed for us,

402
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:07,610
there are various elements
such as lithium, copper,

403
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,353
important metals and
materials,

404
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:13,048
and production of silicone
-- I don't know;

405
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:14,992
technology today.

406
00:14:14,987 --> 00:14:19,127
And our robot is designed to
efficiently achieve these

407
00:14:19,124 --> 00:14:20,994
goals.

408
00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:22,593
Yara Shahidi: What got you
interested in this

409
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:24,395
competition?

410
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:27,666
Jacob Bosarge: Well, it was
mostly the sponsors and the

411
00:14:27,666 --> 00:14:29,706
teachers from my high
school.

412
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:31,642
The first couple of years I
was in high school I didn't

413
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:34,277
take part in it, but the
third year one of my

414
00:14:34,273 --> 00:14:37,213
teachers noticed that I had
an aptitude for engineering

415
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:39,149
and designing things and
drawing things up in

416
00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:41,844
computer programs, so they
asked me to join.

417
00:14:41,847 --> 00:14:42,717
It's just like a company.

418
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:44,215
I had to fill out a job
application,

419
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:46,716
and after that I was
assigned a job and assigned

420
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,289
a section of the
company to work in,

421
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:51,557
and since then I've moved up
and become a leader in the

422
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:56,567
company, the team, and
that's us.

423
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:57,732
Knatokie Ford: And -- so
you've all been working

424
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,330
together for the same time
as part of the same team?

425
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:00,902
Knatokie Ford: Okay, wow.

426
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:01,769
Awesome.

427
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:03,367
Karlie Kloss: And given that
it's so complex,

428
00:15:03,369 --> 00:15:04,969
there are so many different
aspects of it,

429
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:06,970
do some of you guys work
more on the software,

430
00:15:06,972 --> 00:15:10,442
and others on the hardware,
and others on sort of -- or

431
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:13,282
do you guys kind of -- you
must -- I mean,

432
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,679
there's so many different
components to this.

433
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:16,581
Rupa Palanki: Yes, ma'am.

434
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:17,912
We're actually divided into
two sections,

435
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:20,716
marketing and design, and
I'm actually the CEO of our

436
00:15:20,719 --> 00:15:21,789
company.

437
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:23,127
Knatokie Ford: Fantastic!

438
00:15:23,122 --> 00:15:23,852
Rupa Palanki: Yes, ma'am.

439
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:24,986
Karlie Kloss:
(inaudible).

440
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:26,060
Rupa Palanki: So I make sure
that the marketing and

441
00:15:26,058 --> 00:15:28,058
design divisions work
together to create our

442
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,400
amazing product.

443
00:15:29,395 --> 00:15:31,465
Knatokie Ford: That's
fantastic.

444
00:15:31,463 --> 00:15:33,533
Well, you guys are so
incredible,

445
00:15:33,532 --> 00:15:35,032
so congratulations on your
competition.

446
00:15:35,034 --> 00:15:36,364
And you guys -- are you from
Mobile?

447
00:15:36,368 --> 00:15:38,268
Did I read that correctly?

448
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:39,440
Knatokie Ford: I have been
to the airport in Mobile.

449
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:40,308
It's actually one of my
favorites.

450
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:42,506
So I know your stomping
grounds.

451
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,278
Thank you all so much for
being here,

452
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:45,676
and congratulations again!

453
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:46,608
Jacob Bosarge: Thank you.

454
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:47,442
Yara Shahidi: Yes, thank
you.

455
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:48,646
Karlie Kloss: It's very
important work.

456
00:15:48,647 --> 00:15:50,787
Awesome.

457
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:51,883
Knatokie Ford: Step right
on up.

458
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:54,524
So, ladies, tell us your
name and about your project.

459
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Jordan West: My name is
Jordan and we built a

460
00:15:56,155 --> 00:15:58,395
solar-powered car.

461
00:15:58,390 --> 00:16:00,330
Adriana Pusey: My name's
Adriana and I helped build

462
00:16:00,326 --> 00:16:01,656
the solar-powered car.

463
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:02,630
Knatokie Ford: And how old
are you guys?

464
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:03,428
Jordan West: I'm 12.

465
00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:04,529
Adriana Pusey: I'm 13.

466
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:05,530
Knatokie Ford: Twelve and
thirteen.

467
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:07,171
Karlie Kloss: I feel so
unaccomplished.

468
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:08,196
Yara Shahidi: Yes.

469
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,070
Tell us about the
solar-powered car.

470
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:11,139
Knatokie Ford: Is this the
solar-powered car here?

471
00:16:11,136 --> 00:16:11,766
Jordan West: Yes.

472
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,940
Yeah, so what happened was
we had raced it in a local

473
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:17,510
competition and we won the
competition,

474
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:21,049
and we had moved on to
another one in Texas,

475
00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:23,516
but then we forgot to fix
the car within the 30

476
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:26,755
seconds we had, so
we didn't win.

477
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:27,822
Knatokie Ford: That's okay.

478
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,150
Jordan West: But we still
ended up here.

479
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:29,584
Knatokie Ford: You're here
today, though.

480
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:30,758
Yara Shahidi: Yes.

481
00:16:30,756 --> 00:16:32,526
Knatokie Ford: So how did
you get this idea?

482
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:34,764
How did you get interested
in solar power, etc.?

483
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,030
Jordan West: It was like a
program at the Boys and

484
00:16:37,029 --> 00:16:39,769
Girls Club, and then I was
asked to join it,

485
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:42,965
and we were like, "Sure."

486
00:16:42,968 --> 00:16:44,608
Knatokie Ford: So what's
your favorite part of doing

487
00:16:44,603 --> 00:16:45,973
a project like this?

488
00:16:45,971 --> 00:16:47,471
Adriana Pusey: My favorite
part is working with my

489
00:16:47,473 --> 00:16:50,943
teammates because, you know,
it's fun building it

490
00:16:50,943 --> 00:16:52,513
together so it can
actually work.

491
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:53,341
You know?

492
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:53,975
Yara Shahidi: Yeah.

493
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:54,609
Show off this car.

494
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:55,343
Karlie Kloss: Yes!

495
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:56,547
I mean, it's a sunny day
today.

496
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:57,448
I'm sure it could go pretty
far.

497
00:16:57,449 --> 00:16:58,149
Yara Shahidi: I know!

498
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:59,450
When we were talking to you,
the wheels were spinning

499
00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:03,521
(inaudible).

500
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:03,852
Jordan West:
(inaudible) have to

501
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:04,686
hold it (inaudible)
because it makes, like,

502
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:05,390
the most obnoxious noise
ever.

503
00:17:05,391 --> 00:17:07,491
Yara Shahidi: Okay, so
you're tweenagers who've

504
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:08,663
already made a
solar-powered car.

505
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:11,400
What comes next?

506
00:17:11,397 --> 00:17:12,127
Jordan West: We might be --

507
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:13,131
Adriana Pusey:
(inaudible).

508
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:14,002
Jordan West: Oh, okay.

509
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:17,539
We might be able to make an
app to save food waste --

510
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:18,506
Karlie Kloss: That would be
amazing.

511
00:17:18,504 --> 00:17:20,374
Jordan West: -- and stop
global warming because of

512
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:21,472
methane gas.

513
00:17:21,473 --> 00:17:23,513
Karlie Kloss: Have you guys
been learning how to code?

514
00:17:23,509 --> 00:17:24,639
Jordan West: Code?

515
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:25,213
Karlie Kloss: How to code?

516
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:26,040
Jordan West: Oh, no.

517
00:17:26,044 --> 00:17:27,214
Karlie Kloss: It's awesome.

518
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:30,282
Jordan West: I can't make a
grilled cheese sandwich

519
00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:34,282
without setting off the
smoke alarm.

520
00:17:34,286 --> 00:17:35,086
Karlie Kloss: It's not as
hard as you -- but you can

521
00:17:35,087 --> 00:17:35,657
make a solar-panel car.

522
00:17:35,654 --> 00:17:37,254
Knatokie Ford: But you can.

523
00:17:37,256 --> 00:17:37,926
You can do anything.

524
00:17:37,923 --> 00:17:39,363
Yara Shahidi:
(inaudible)

525
00:17:39,358 --> 00:17:39,858
solar-powered car.

526
00:17:39,858 --> 00:17:40,428
Karlie Kloss: You can do
anything.

527
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:41,226
You can do anything.

528
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,196
You should, because you
could combine sort of what

529
00:17:42,194 --> 00:17:44,564
you've already built and
continue to -- you could do

530
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:45,593
anything.

531
00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:48,797
I actually really believe
that everybody here is --

532
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:50,471
you guys are brilliant.

533
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:51,939
It's amazing.

534
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:54,037
Knatokie Ford: Well, guys,
this is incredible,

535
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,239
so congratulations on all
the amazing things that

536
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:58,811
you're doing, and I know you
guys are going to go on and

537
00:17:58,811 --> 00:17:59,841
do awesome things.

538
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:01,485
Thank you so much for being
here with us.

539
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,980
Karlie Kloss: Also -- wait,
I have to ask you,

540
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:04,381
how does it feel to be at
the White House?

541
00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:05,353
Isn't this crazy?

542
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:07,220
Jordan West: Yeah, I never
thought I would ever get

543
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:08,019
anywhere near the
White House.

544
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:09,090
Karlie Kloss: Me neither.

545
00:18:09,087 --> 00:18:09,927
It's amazing.

546
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:11,122
Yara Shahidi: I'm trying to
meet the first daughters.

547
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:12,623
Will you join me in this
adventure?

548
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:13,354
Jordan West: Yes.

549
00:18:13,358 --> 00:18:15,258
Like, we had a plan we were
going to become, like,

550
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,530
best friends with them and,
like, feel special.

551
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:18,469
Karlie Kloss: Yes.

552
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,234
Yara Shahidi: We'll meet on
the front lawn at 2:00 p.m.

553
00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:20,601
We'll do it.

554
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:21,569
Karlie Kloss: Can I get in
on this?

555
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:22,797
Knatokie Ford: You guys
(inaudible) on the live

556
00:18:22,801 --> 00:18:23,201
stream.

557
00:18:23,202 --> 00:18:24,632
While our next group is
coming up,

558
00:18:24,636 --> 00:18:26,006
for those of you who might
have just tuned in,

559
00:18:26,004 --> 00:18:29,104
we're here live on the East
Garden with Karlie Kloss,

560
00:18:29,107 --> 00:18:32,747
Yara Shahidi -- I'm Knatokie
Ford -- at the final Obama

561
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:34,384
administration White House
Science Fair.

562
00:18:34,379 --> 00:18:36,649
Our next group, can you tell
us your name and a little

563
00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:37,848
bit about your project?

564
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,790
Matthew Sun: Yeah, I'm
Matthew.

565
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:40,785
Savannah Cofer: I'm
Savannah.

566
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:41,586
Valerie Chen: I'm Valerie.

567
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:43,227
Varun Vallabhaneni: I'm
Varun.

568
00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:44,722
Matthew Sun: And our project
is Fire Armor.

569
00:18:44,723 --> 00:18:47,323
It's a novel material for
firefighter suits.

570
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:50,326
The current industry
standard for firefighter

571
00:18:50,329 --> 00:18:51,969
suits has kind of stayed the
same over the past 40 years,

572
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:53,634
and it only provides
protection in a flashover

573
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:55,832
fire for, like, five
seconds.

574
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:58,904
So our material can provide
protection in temperatures

575
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:01,204
above 1,000 degrees Celsius
and for five minutes in a

576
00:19:01,206 --> 00:19:02,506
flashover fire.

577
00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:04,508
Savannah Cofer: It's
actually a really

578
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:06,980
interesting material that --
it works similar to an

579
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,349
instant ice pack.

580
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:09,577
If you've ever seen an
instant ice pack,

581
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,451
it actually has an
endothermic chemical

582
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:14,090
reaction that absorbs heat
in from its environment,

583
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:16,826
so it works in a lot
of the same ways.

584
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:18,862
When a firefighter is in a
flashover fire,

585
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:20,757
then it'll absorb the
temperatures from the

586
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:21,689
outside.

587
00:19:21,693 --> 00:19:24,263
It's really effective in
protecting the firefighter

588
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:25,793
from the high
temperature conditions.

589
00:19:25,797 --> 00:19:27,367
Karlie Kloss: Wow.

590
00:19:27,366 --> 00:19:28,036
Knatokie Ford: Anything else
you guys want to add to

591
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:28,763
that?

592
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:29,667
Varun Vallabhaneni: Yeah,
absolutely.

593
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,308
Last year we entered an
entrepreneurship competition

594
00:19:31,303 --> 00:19:33,603
called the Conrad Awards,
and so as a result of

595
00:19:33,605 --> 00:19:35,805
winning the competition, we
received the funding for a

596
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:38,047
patent, and so we're
really excited.

597
00:19:38,043 --> 00:19:39,743
So we have a patent pending.

598
00:19:39,745 --> 00:19:41,285
We're really excited to see
what other applications we

599
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,450
can use, so military
technology to domestic use

600
00:19:43,448 --> 00:19:44,588
as well.

601
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:45,453
Karlie Kloss: That's
amazing.

602
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:46,120
Yara Shahidi: That's
amazing.

603
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:48,388
So what got you interested
in firefighter technology?

604
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:51,087
Valerie Chen: Yeah, so it
was when we heard about the

605
00:19:51,089 --> 00:19:54,689
Arizona situation in 2013
when 19 firefighters were

606
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:57,333
killed in a flashover fire,
and Savannah actually told

607
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:59,529
us that she was hiking there
in Arizona and saw the

608
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,571
smoke, so we were kind of
inspired to find a solution

609
00:20:02,568 --> 00:20:04,968
for this problem.

610
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:06,970
Karlie Kloss: And is your
technology -- is it reusable

611
00:20:06,972 --> 00:20:11,412
once the material that
you've created or -- is it

612
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,180
reusable, hypothetically?

613
00:20:13,178 --> 00:20:15,348
Savannah Cofer: Yeah, it
actually is reusable.

614
00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:18,387
The endothermic chemical
reaction occurs as a one-way

615
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:20,453
condensation reaction, but
even above those

616
00:20:20,452 --> 00:20:22,322
temperatures, it can still
continue to protect the

617
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:25,821
firefighter and work almost
as well as the -- in fact,

618
00:20:25,824 --> 00:20:26,964
better than what's
currently being used.

619
00:20:26,959 --> 00:20:29,259
And it also resists
degradation,

620
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:31,861
so it doesn't fall apart,
and it stays pristine and

621
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:32,393
white.

622
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:32,967
Yara Shahidi: That's
fantastic.

623
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:35,065
How long have you guys been
working on this?

624
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,007
Varun Vallabhaneni: It's
been around two years now

625
00:20:37,002 --> 00:20:38,742
that we've been working
on this.

626
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,107
Knatokie Ford: Wow,
two years.

627
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:41,275
How old are you guys?

628
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:42,003
What age?

629
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:42,577
Valerie Chen: We're seniors.

630
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:43,874
Varun Vallabhaneni: We're
all seniors in high school.

631
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:45,475
Knatokie Ford: Any
commitments yet in terms of

632
00:20:45,477 --> 00:20:47,047
where you're going?

633
00:20:47,045 --> 00:20:48,315
Have you signed with any
universities?

634
00:20:48,313 --> 00:20:49,243
Varun Vallabhaneni: I'm
going to U.

635
00:20:49,247 --> 00:20:50,147
Penn in the fall.

636
00:20:50,148 --> 00:20:51,348
Valerie Chen: I'm going to
Yale.

637
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:52,320
Savannah Cofer: Grace
University.

638
00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:53,187
Matthew Sun: Stanford.

639
00:20:53,185 --> 00:20:54,115
Knatokie Ford: Wonderful!

640
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:54,949
Yara Shahidi: That's
amazing!

641
00:20:54,953 --> 00:20:55,953
Knatokie Ford: That's
awesome.

642
00:20:55,954 --> 00:20:57,354
Karlie Kloss: What about
when you get the patents and

643
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:58,426
you start a business?

644
00:20:58,423 --> 00:20:59,423
How are you going to all --

645
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:00,464
Varun Vallabhaneni: One
thing we really want to

646
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,559
investigate is other
applications.

647
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,100
We're looking into, like,
military technology and

648
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:06,035
implementing this in that
as well.

649
00:21:06,031 --> 00:21:07,131
Knatokie Ford: Incredible.

650
00:21:07,132 --> 00:21:07,862
Karlie Kloss: That's
awesome.

651
00:21:07,866 --> 00:21:08,796
Yara Shahidi: As a rising
senior,

652
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,300
I'm going to have to pick
all of your brains.

653
00:21:10,302 --> 00:21:13,002
Valerie Chen: Sure!

654
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:14,235
Matthew Sun: Sure, reach
out.

655
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:16,279
Knatokie Ford: No objections
to that, Yara.

656
00:21:16,274 --> 00:21:18,274
No objections whatsoever.

657
00:21:18,276 --> 00:21:19,046
Karlie Kloss: That's
awesome.

658
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:19,874
Knatokie Ford: Wow, great!

659
00:21:19,878 --> 00:21:21,118
You guys are fantastic.

660
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:22,543
Congratulations again --

661
00:21:22,547 --> 00:21:23,417
Karlie Kloss: Congrats.

662
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:24,245
Knatokie Ford: -- and thank
you so much for being here

663
00:21:24,249 --> 00:21:24,749
with us.

664
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:25,320
Valerie Chen: Thank you.

665
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:26,817
Yara Shahidi: Thank you.

666
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,190
I also appreciate the color
coordination.

667
00:21:29,187 --> 00:21:30,787
Karlie Kloss: I know!

668
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:31,859
Respect.

669
00:21:31,857 --> 00:21:32,827
Respect.

670
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:33,554
Knatokie Ford: Hello!

671
00:21:33,558 --> 00:21:34,428
Tell us your name.

672
00:21:34,426 --> 00:21:35,196
Oh, do I get a hug?

673
00:21:35,193 --> 00:21:36,093
My first hug!

674
00:21:36,094 --> 00:21:36,764
Karlie Kloss: Hi!

675
00:21:36,762 --> 00:21:37,462
Knatokie Ford: Thank you.

676
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:38,262
Yara Shahidi: Nice to meet
you.

677
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:39,133
Karlie Kloss: I'm jealous.

678
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:40,261
Yara Shahidi: Me, too.

679
00:21:40,265 --> 00:21:41,505
Nicole O'Dell: My name is
Nicole O'Dell.

680
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:42,200
Knatokie Ford: Tell us about
your project.

681
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,700
Nicole O'Dell: Okay, so my
project is will low-dose

682
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:45,302
radiation affect the growth
of patient diagnostic

683
00:21:45,303 --> 00:21:46,803
specimens?

684
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:49,475
And it's basically about --
okay,

685
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:53,444
so doctors need accurate
diagnoses for patient

686
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:56,115
specimens, and when they
can't diagnosis things

687
00:21:56,114 --> 00:21:58,254
themselves, they'll send it
to other labs for further

688
00:21:58,250 --> 00:21:59,350
analysis.

689
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:02,691
And after 9/11 it became
important that packages go

690
00:22:02,688 --> 00:22:05,358
through x-ray security
scanning machines for

691
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:08,857
security purposes, and my
project looks to see if the

692
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:10,800
low-dose radiation that
they're exposed to has an

693
00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:12,936
effect on the specimen.

694
00:22:12,931 --> 00:22:14,031
Knatokie Ford: Unbelievable.

695
00:22:14,032 --> 00:22:15,172
That is amazing.

696
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:17,507
Karlie Kloss: Is there a lot
of regulation now around

697
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:21,942
that -- preventing that
from happening?

698
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:24,510
Nicole O'Dell: My tests
looked to see if there was

699
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:29,849
any effect on the specimen,
and we saw variations in

700
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:32,348
color and isolation
in colonies,

701
00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:37,220
but we couldn't fairly
definitely attribute that to

702
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:39,492
low-dose radiation.

703
00:22:39,491 --> 00:22:41,531
Knatokie Ford: How did you
get interested in this?

704
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:44,166
Nicole O'Dell: I was told
about an incident that had

705
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:47,802
occurred where an airport
staff member was exposed to

706
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,369
a specimen that had leaked
out of its containment

707
00:22:50,368 --> 00:22:52,568
during transportation, and
it got my partner and I

708
00:22:52,571 --> 00:22:55,711
thinking about other factors
that could affect diagnosis

709
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:57,977
of specimens.

710
00:22:57,976 --> 00:22:59,646
Yara Shahidi: So what
grade are you in?

711
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:01,184
Nicole O'Dell: I'm a
twelfth grader.

712
00:23:01,179 --> 00:23:03,679
Knatokie Ford: So what's
next for you?

713
00:23:03,682 --> 00:23:06,052
Nicole O'Dell: Okay, so I'm
a Posse scholar.

714
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:13,291
Posse is a merit-based
leadership scholarship to an

715
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:16,461
institution, a good
institution, for four years,

716
00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:18,531
and I'm going to Brandeis
University.

717
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:19,260
Yara Shahidi: Amazing.

718
00:23:19,264 --> 00:23:20,064
Knatokie Ford: Fantastic!

719
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:21,135
Karlie Kloss: That's
amazing.

720
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:22,063
Knatokie Ford: Fantastic.

721
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,537
And how does it feel to be
here at the White House?

722
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:24,265
Nicole O'Dell: Crazy.

723
00:23:24,269 --> 00:23:25,399
I can't believe it.

724
00:23:25,403 --> 00:23:27,303
Yara Shahidi: What are you
planning on studying?

725
00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:28,005
Karlie Kloss: I was going to
say, what are you --

726
00:23:28,006 --> 00:23:28,936
Nicole O'Dell: Biochemistry.

727
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:29,980
Karlie Kloss: There you go.

728
00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:30,845
I like it.

729
00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:31,842
Knatokie Ford: Biochemistry!

730
00:23:31,843 --> 00:23:32,543
Karlie Kloss: She's your
girl.

731
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:33,344
I like it.

732
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:34,545
Knatokie Ford: Wow.

733
00:23:34,546 --> 00:23:35,916
Well, thank you so much for
being here.

734
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:37,114
Congratulations on
everything that you're

735
00:23:37,115 --> 00:23:38,185
doing.

736
00:23:38,183 --> 00:23:38,953
Nicole O'Dell: Thank you.

737
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:42,290
Karlie Kloss: Enjoy the
White House!

738
00:23:42,788 --> 00:23:44,258
Knatokie Ford: Come on up.

739
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:45,956
Hi; tell us your name and a
little bit about your

740
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:47,027
project.

741
00:23:47,025 --> 00:23:48,195
Samantha Armistead: I'm Sam.

742
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:49,563
Emma Jaynes: I'm Emma.

743
00:23:49,561 --> 00:23:50,961
Samantha Armistead: And
we're part of TARC,

744
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:52,832
which is a rocket ship
competition.

745
00:23:52,831 --> 00:23:54,631
It's the biggest rocket ship
competition in the world.

746
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:57,403
It's sponsored by Aerospace
Industries Association,

747
00:23:57,402 --> 00:23:59,342
National Rocketry
Association,

748
00:23:59,337 --> 00:24:00,977
a lot of other industries as
well.

749
00:24:00,972 --> 00:24:03,472
And basically the point of
this project is to build a

750
00:24:03,475 --> 00:24:06,445
rocket that goes 850 feet,
flies between 44 and 46

751
00:24:06,444 --> 00:24:09,084
seconds, and also has two
eggs that don't break.

752
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,350
Well, you hope they
don't break.

753
00:24:10,348 --> 00:24:11,388
Knatokie Ford: You said two
eggs inside.

754
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:12,083
Samantha Armistead: Yeah.

755
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:13,083
Knatokie Ford: Okay.

756
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:14,324
Emma Jaynes: We
(inaudible) them in

757
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,119
here with, like, protective
foam to keep them safe, but,

758
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,891
yeah, they would be in there
while the rocket's flying.

759
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:19,830
Knatokie Ford: Wow, okay.

760
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:22,225
So, two eggs in foam.

761
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:24,267
What are the conditions
you're testing out when

762
00:24:24,262 --> 00:24:25,932
you're trying to make sure
that the eggs don't break as

763
00:24:25,931 --> 00:24:27,671
you're launching these
rockets?

764
00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:29,036
Samantha Armistead: The
biggest issue is if the

765
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,264
parachute doesn't open and
it just crashes to the

766
00:24:30,268 --> 00:24:32,238
ground, or if you miss an
o-ring and the rocket

767
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:33,577
explodes.

768
00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:35,812
So you just try to make sure
that doesn't happen,

769
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:36,737
basically.

770
00:24:36,741 --> 00:24:37,781
Yara Shahidi: How long have
you been working on this

771
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:38,946
rocket?

772
00:24:38,944 --> 00:24:42,814
Samantha Armistead: This
rocket is mostly this year.

773
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:44,554
We've done rocketry for the
past two years at our

774
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:46,949
school, Jordan High School.

775
00:24:46,952 --> 00:24:48,822
Because of our
success in TARC,

776
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:50,520
the Team America
Rocketry Challenge,

777
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,292
we've moved on to the NASA
Student Launch Initiative in

778
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:54,160
which we build seven- to
nine-foot rockets that fly a

779
00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:56,059
mile high, and we do an
experiment with them.

780
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:57,191
Karlie Kloss: You can see
them back here.

781
00:24:57,195 --> 00:24:58,265
They're pretty amazing.

782
00:24:58,263 --> 00:24:59,163
Samantha Armistead: Yeah,
they're those over there.

783
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:00,064
Knatokie Ford: Oh, wow.

784
00:25:00,065 --> 00:25:01,705
Could you hold up your
rocket for the camera?

785
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:03,370
This is awesome.

786
00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:05,438
Karlie Kloss: And you said
before -- how do you fuel

787
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:06,637
the rockets?

788
00:25:06,638 --> 00:25:08,508
Samantha Armistead: It's a
solid propellant.

789
00:25:08,506 --> 00:25:11,146
It's ammonium perchlorate,
and basically you just light

790
00:25:11,142 --> 00:25:13,082
it on fire and it'll burn
for usually about two

791
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:14,308
seconds, and then it's done.

792
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:16,582
Karlie Kloss: And they're
reusable?

793
00:25:16,581 --> 00:25:17,581
Samantha Armistead: The
(inaudible) container

794
00:25:17,582 --> 00:25:19,282
is reusable, but since you
burn up all the fuel in it,

795
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:21,024
we have to remake them each
time we fly.

796
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,819
Yara Shahidi: Okay, you're
saying all this so casually

797
00:25:22,821 --> 00:25:23,121
--

798
00:25:23,121 --> 00:25:23,651
Karlie Kloss: I know.

799
00:25:23,655 --> 00:25:24,555
Yara Shahidi: -- but I hope
you understand how epic

800
00:25:24,556 --> 00:25:24,986
(inaudible).

801
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:26,260
Karlie Kloss: Building
rockets and stuff.

802
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,358
Yara Shahidi: "Yeah, it
flies up 850 feet."

803
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,359
Samantha Armistead: Thank
you.

804
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:28,890
Emma Jaynes: Thanks.

805
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:30,064
Karlie Kloss: It's amazing.

806
00:25:30,061 --> 00:25:31,701
And your dream jobs?

807
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:33,296
Samantha Armistead: I'm
interested in physics right

808
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:34,328
now, but I don't really know
where I want to go with

809
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:34,932
that.

810
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:36,163
I do really like rocketry,
though.

811
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:39,437
Emma Jaynes: I would love to
work for NASA.

812
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:41,007
That's probably my dream
job.

813
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:41,906
I'm going to N.C.

814
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:42,777
State next year for
aerospace engineering,

815
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:44,714
and N.C.

816
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,009
State actually has a NASA
program like the one that we

817
00:25:47,012 --> 00:25:48,412
do, except at the college
level,

818
00:25:48,413 --> 00:25:50,313
so I'm hoping that I can
take part in that.

819
00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:53,815
Karlie Kloss: And would you
want to go to space?

820
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:54,958
Emma Jaynes: I'll get back
to you on that.

821
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:56,223
Knatokie Ford: Maybe to
Mars?

822
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:57,391
Karlie Kloss: Yeah, exactly.

823
00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:57,919
Yara Shahidi: Are you a
little scared of the

824
00:25:57,923 --> 00:25:58,353
Martians?

825
00:25:58,356 --> 00:25:59,296
Emma Jaynes: Maybe one day.

826
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:00,721
I have the hair to match.

827
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:03,425
Knatokie Ford: Absolutely,
love the hair.

828
00:26:03,428 --> 00:26:04,428
Wow, well, wonderful.

829
00:26:04,429 --> 00:26:05,529
Thank you so much, ladies.

830
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:07,330
Congratulations on
everything you're doing.

831
00:26:07,332 --> 00:26:08,132
You've been fantastic.

832
00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:08,703
Karlie Kloss: So awesome.

833
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,700
Emma Jaynes: Thank you.

834
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:13,640
Knatokie Ford: Come
right on up.

835
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:15,338
You are our last student
to get interviewed.

836
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:18,040
Can you tell us your name
and about your project?

837
00:26:18,043 --> 00:26:19,643
Hari Bhimaraju: My name is
Hari Bhimaraju and I made a

838
00:26:19,644 --> 00:26:21,644
low-cost automated tool to
teach about the periodic

839
00:26:21,646 --> 00:26:25,486
table of elements for the
visually impaired.

840
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:26,113
Knatokie Ford: Wow!

841
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:27,787
That is amazing.

842
00:26:27,786 --> 00:26:29,286
So tell us what gave
you that idea.

843
00:26:29,287 --> 00:26:30,627
Hari Bhimaraju: Well, I was
just learning science,

844
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:33,262
and it was, like, so
fascinating that -- to learn

845
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:35,428
about what makes up
everything around us,

846
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:36,457
which is chemistry.

847
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:39,031
So then I wanted to make a
tool to teach about that so

848
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:41,400
more people could
learn about it.

849
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:44,339
Karlie Kloss: I love that,
because the actual learning

850
00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:46,506
is such an important part.

851
00:26:46,504 --> 00:26:48,904
Everyone on this lawn
right now has, you know,

852
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:51,747
been very passionate about
whatever they're studying.

853
00:26:51,743 --> 00:26:55,643
The actual learning process
is a great thing to continue

854
00:26:55,647 --> 00:26:56,677
to (inaudible).

855
00:26:56,681 --> 00:26:57,821
Yara Shahidi: I'm in
chemistry right now,

856
00:26:57,816 --> 00:26:59,116
so I could use this
(inaudible).

857
00:26:59,117 --> 00:26:59,917
Karlie Kloss:
(inaudible) periodic

858
00:26:59,918 --> 00:27:01,088
tool.

859
00:27:01,086 --> 00:27:02,086
Hari Bhimaraju: I actually
have an app on the app

860
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:03,457
store.

861
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:04,355
Yara Shahidi: Tell us
about this.

862
00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:04,826
Knatokie Ford:
(inaudible) have to

863
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:05,223
download it.

864
00:27:05,223 --> 00:27:06,023
Karlie Kloss: Amazing.

865
00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:06,994
Hari Bhimaraju: It's called
The Elementor,

866
00:27:06,992 --> 00:27:08,692
so download it.

867
00:27:08,693 --> 00:27:09,733
Karlie Kloss: That's
awesome.

868
00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:10,698
Knatokie Ford: You heard it
here first, people.

869
00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:12,095
Yara Shahidi: I will.

870
00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:12,667
Knatokie Ford: The
Elementor.

871
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:13,334
Karlie Kloss: The Elementor.

872
00:27:13,331 --> 00:27:14,301
That's awesome.

873
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,499
Hari Bhimaraju: Thank you.

874
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:16,130
Knatokie Ford: And how old
are you again?

875
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:17,904
Hari Bhimaraju: I'm 12.

876
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:19,742
Knatokie Ford: Twelve
years old?

877
00:27:19,738 --> 00:27:23,008
Do we need to say
anything else?

878
00:27:23,008 --> 00:27:24,338
Karlie Kloss: What's -- can
I ask, what's

879
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:25,582
your dream job if you
could do anything?

880
00:27:25,577 --> 00:27:26,607
Hari Bhimaraju: I want to do
something science-y that

881
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:28,811
helps people, so maybe like
a biomedical engineer or

882
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:30,953
something.

883
00:27:30,949 --> 00:27:32,919
Knatokie Ford: A woman after
my own heart.

884
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:33,787
My goodness.

885
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:35,185
You are incredible.

886
00:27:35,186 --> 00:27:37,186
Well, thank you so much.

887
00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:40,658
It's been a pleasure
having you,

888
00:27:40,658 --> 00:27:41,128
and you are doing amazing
things to help people,

889
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:42,426
which is so important.

890
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:43,427
Yara Shahidi: Yes,
thank you.

891
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:44,928
Karlie Kloss: And we'll be
downloading your app.

892
00:27:44,929 --> 00:27:46,299
Knatokie Ford: And we're all
downloading it today.

893
00:27:46,297 --> 00:27:47,797
Have fun today!

894
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,899
Yara Shahidi: Can you repeat
it into the microphone?

895
00:27:49,901 --> 00:27:51,371
Hari Bhimaraju: Nice
to meet you.

896
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:52,139
Knatokie Ford: Nice to meet
you, too.

897
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:53,237
So, absolute last.

898
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:54,338
Come on up.

899
00:27:54,339 --> 00:27:58,709
We have with us the co-hosts
of a new TV show that's on

900
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:00,280
Fox, I believe,
called FabLab.

901
00:28:00,278 --> 00:28:02,448
Tell us your names and just
a little bit about FabLab.

902
00:28:02,447 --> 00:28:03,047
Madison Vorva: Sure.

903
00:28:03,048 --> 00:28:04,078
I'm Maddie.

904
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:04,982
Nick Uhas: I'm Nick Uhas.

905
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,553
Madison Vorva: And we are
from FabLab,

906
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:09,051
which is a show on Fox all
about showing how science

907
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:11,554
and technology are making
the world a better place.

908
00:28:11,556 --> 00:28:12,256
Knatokie Ford: Absolutely,
wonderful.

909
00:28:12,257 --> 00:28:13,057
Karlie Kloss: That's
awesome.

910
00:28:13,058 --> 00:28:14,588
Knatokie Ford: And you both
have STEM backgrounds,

911
00:28:14,592 --> 00:28:15,262
correct?

912
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:16,430
Or have done things with
STEM, right?

913
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:17,258
Madison Vorva: That's right.

914
00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:19,962
I'm in college right now and
I'm studying GIS and how

915
00:28:19,964 --> 00:28:22,304
that can be used to
help conservation.

916
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,400
Nick Uhas: I was a biology
major in school,

917
00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:26,642
so I was a pre-med kid,
all about science,

918
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,508
and I also have a YouTube
series that's all about

919
00:28:28,506 --> 00:28:29,306
science as well.

920
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:31,707
So that's how I sort of
integrated my entire career

921
00:28:31,709 --> 00:28:33,949
into science along with this
TV show, FabLab.

922
00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:35,345
Knatokie Ford: What's the
name of the YouTube series?

923
00:28:35,346 --> 00:28:37,486
Nick Uhas: Oh, it's called
Nickipedia.

924
00:28:37,482 --> 00:28:38,252
Karlie Kloss: Nickipedia.

925
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:38,979
I'll be watching that.

926
00:28:38,983 --> 00:28:40,223
Nick Uhas: It's on my
YouTube channel, Nick Uhas.

927
00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:41,048
Madison Vorva: Your YouTube
(inaudible).

928
00:28:41,052 --> 00:28:41,982
You're amazing.

929
00:28:41,986 --> 00:28:42,686
Karlie Kloss: Thank you.

930
00:28:42,687 --> 00:28:43,827
Yara Shahidi: So have you
guys started shooting?

931
00:28:43,822 --> 00:28:44,852
Madison Vorva: Yes, we have.

932
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:46,326
Nick Uhas: Oh, yeah.

933
00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:46,994
Yara Shahidi: Can you give
us like a little hint as to

934
00:28:46,991 --> 00:28:47,661
what we will be seeing?

935
00:28:47,659 --> 00:28:48,029
Madison Vorva: Yeah,
definitely.

936
00:28:48,026 --> 00:28:49,996
We've shown how science is
helping dogs.

937
00:28:49,994 --> 00:28:52,494
I was in Paris during
climate negotiations,

938
00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:54,867
explaining to, like, seventh
graders what does the U.N.

939
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:57,306
do, how are we addressing
climate change.

940
00:28:57,302 --> 00:29:00,672
We've talked about renewable
energy, lots of things.

941
00:29:00,672 --> 00:29:03,172
Nick Uhas: There was a
contest that Samsung puts on

942
00:29:03,174 --> 00:29:04,744
called Samsung Solve
for Tomorrow,

943
00:29:04,742 --> 00:29:06,342
and so it's getting all
the bright,

944
00:29:06,344 --> 00:29:07,444
intelligent minds that are
solving local problems

945
00:29:07,445 --> 00:29:08,375
through STEM.

946
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:10,749
We just did a two-part
series about that entire

947
00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:13,718
competition in New York
at Samsung 837.

948
00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:14,588
It was awesome.

949
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:15,786
Karlie Kloss: Well, the next
series you need to do is

950
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:17,887
interviewing everyone here
on your show --

951
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:18,719
Nick Uhas: We're
working on it.

952
00:29:18,723 --> 00:29:19,523
We're working on it.

953
00:29:19,524 --> 00:29:20,324
Karlie Kloss: -- because
they're -- yeah,

954
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:21,895
you're in the right place.

955
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:24,533
Nick Uhas: Yeah, that's what
we're doing right now.

956
00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:25,529
Knatokie Ford: Great.

957
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:26,200
Thank you all for joining
us.

958
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:26,727
I'm definitely going to be
tuning in and watching

959
00:29:26,731 --> 00:29:27,561
FabLab, and thank you for
the incredible work that

960
00:29:27,565 --> 00:29:29,865
you're doing using media to
help inspire young people,

961
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:33,038
especially young girls, to
go and get interested in and

962
00:29:33,037 --> 00:29:34,237
pursue careers in STEM.

963
00:29:34,239 --> 00:29:35,209
So thanks for being here
with us.

964
00:29:35,206 --> 00:29:36,076
Madison Vorva: Thank you
very much.

965
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:36,674
Nick Uhas: (inaudible).

966
00:29:36,674 --> 00:29:37,304
We appreciate it.

967
00:29:37,308 --> 00:29:38,078
Thank you.

968
00:29:38,076 --> 00:29:39,576
Karlie Kloss: We'll
be watching.

969
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:42,117
Knatokie Ford: So that
concludes our live desk

970
00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:44,883
but please
do not go anywhere.

971
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:48,283
Up next you'll see a panel
discussion featuring alumni

972
00:29:48,286 --> 00:29:49,486
of the White House
Science Fair,

973
00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:52,257
which will be moderated by
Valerie Jarrett.

974
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:53,757
So stay tuned for that, and
then after Valerie and the

975
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:57,328
panel, you'll be able to
watch the President take his

976
00:29:57,328 --> 00:30:00,768
tour of these amazing
exhibits from our students

977
00:30:00,765 --> 00:30:03,565
and also make remarks, so
please stay tuned.

978
00:30:03,568 --> 00:30:05,868
And Karlie, Yara, you've
been amazing.

979
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:06,440

00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:09,078
This has been so much fun.

983
00:30:09,073 --> 00:30:11,273
Karlie Kloss: I mean -- I
think everyone on this lawn

984
00:30:11,276 --> 00:30:12,546
is the future of --

985
00:30:12,544 --> 00:30:13,874
Knatokie Ford: Absolutely.

986
00:30:13,878 --> 00:30:15,378
Karlie Kloss: -- they're
going to change the world.

987
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,580
Yara Shahidi: Yes, I've been
inspired for AP bio next

988
00:30:17,582 --> 00:30:18,412
year.

989
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:19,786
Knatokie Ford: Yes!
