This is big news!

 

Our Ladyada, Limor Fried, was selected to join President Obama in a Fireside Hangout this Thursday 2/14 at 4:50pm EST on Google+! We’ll discuss issues that are top of mind for citizens, and we’d love you all to help shape this conversation. Submit your questions to youtube.com/whitehouse and the President will answer questions that are voted to the top.

 

Limor will be talking to the President LIVE about manufacturing and education!

 

Don’t forget to RSVP here for a reminder to tune in on Thursday- http://goo.gl/7pxfM.

 

I can't wait!

 

Cheers,

Drew

    1) Education - National effort to make learning a computer programming language a requirement for high schoolers.


    2) Patent reform - Stopping patent trolls, specifically software patents and limiting software patents to 5 years.


    3) For the "get to know the prez question" She asked if the President's daughters have thought about a career in science / engineering.


    Thank you everyone for the support and kind words for our Ladyada.
