President Obama hosted the 2015 White House Science Fair today to celebrate the student winners of STEM competitions from around the country.
In addition to Senior Advisor Valarie Jarrett tweeting that for the first time ever there were more girls than boys at this year’s event, POTUS announced over $240 million in new private-sector commitments to inspire and prepare more students from underrepresented groups to excel in STEM fields. The commitment is a part of the president’s “Educate to Innovate” campaign that has resulted in over $1 billion in financial support for STEM programs.
