(upbeat music)

2
00:00:01.790 --> 00:00:04.200
<v ->I'm really happy to be here with everyone today</v>

3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.240
to celebrate the incredible talents of all the students

4
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.550 line:15% 
from the three high schools who are participating

5
00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:12.253 line:15% 
in the 2014 FIRST robotics competition.

6
00:00:13.112 --> 00:00:15.695
(upbeat music)

7
00:00:16.963 --> 00:00:19.670
(cheering)

8
00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:22.760
<v ->To have a chance to have fun, learn,</v>

9
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.790 line:15% 
and realize maybe just what I want to do with my life

10
00:00:24.790 --> 00:00:28.919 line:15% 
around STEM and engineering and math and science,

11
00:00:28.919 --> 00:00:30.819
we're really proud to be part of this.

12
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:36.480 line:15% 
<v ->It puts you in contact with mentors who are in the field</v>

13
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.820 line:15% 
and they basically get to teach you real life engineering,

14
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.723 line:15% 
science, and the skills that help you throughout life.

15
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.230
<v ->Basic, we need engineers.</v>

16
00:00:45.230 --> 00:00:47.780
I mean, we at Comcast know we need engineers.

17
00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:50.220 line:15% 
I mean, ask any kid, they love the iPhone

18
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:51.980
but they have no idea how it works,

19
00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:53.990
and we need people who know how it works.

20
00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:57.120 line:15% 
<v ->FIRST robotics has shaped my life.</v>

21
00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:59.280
From the time I was in sixth grade is when I joined

22
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.360
the first robotics team.

23
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:02.360
I really have found my passion and I'm really happy

24
00:01:02.360 --> 00:01:03.193
about that.

25
00:01:04.711 --> 00:01:07.530 line:15% 
<v ->You think you're gonna be able to be a role model</v>

26
00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:11.180 line:15% 
and you look at these girls and you start to see,

27
00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:14.160
oh my gosh, they're teaching me so much.

28
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.150 line:15% 
<v ->These are kids that wake up being curious</v>

29
00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:18.120 line:15% 
about how things work,

30
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.700
and they will be the future innovators and technologists

31
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.887
for our country, and hopefully a lot for Comcast

32
00:01:23.887 --> 00:01:25.630
and NBC Universal.

33
00:01:25.630 --> 00:01:27.720 line:15% 
<v ->This is a bonus, if we can actually bring some</v>

34
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.360 line:15% 
of these folks, and actually create a talent pipeline

35
00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:32.383
for Comcast and NBC Universal.

36
00:01:33.410 --> 00:01:36.250 line:15% 
<v ->I am very amazed with the innovation and creativity</v>

37
00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:37.590 line:15% 
of these kids.

38
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:41.770
I have basically just been blow away by how they look

39
00:01:41.770 --> 00:01:42.603
at the world.

40
00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:45.450
<v ->When you go to a FIRST event, it's like you look</v>

41
00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:47.551 line:15% 
into the future, and I like what I see.

42
00:01:47.551 --> 00:01:49.770 line:15% 
It really gets you excited about the future

43
00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:51.963
and what the potential of these kids is.

44
00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:55.580 line:15% 
<v ->This is a unique competition where not only are you</v>

45
00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:56.790 line:15% 
competing against a lot of teams

46
00:01:56.790 --> 00:01:58.770
but you have to work with them at the same time.

47
00:01:58.770 --> 00:02:00.460
As much as we want to beat somebody else

48
00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:02.510
and be ahead of them, we also have to work with them

49
00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:04.240
because together we can make a better world

50
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:06.020
and do a better job all together.

51
00:02:06.020 --> 00:02:07.610
<v ->I would like to be an entrepreneur.</v>

52
00:02:07.610 --> 00:02:09.020
<v ->I wanna be an engineer.</v>

53
00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:09.940
<v ->Computer scientist.</v>

54
00:02:09.940 --> 00:02:11.040
<v ->A mechanical engineer.</v>

55
00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:11.873
<v ->Computer scientist.</v>

56
00:02:11.873 --> 00:02:13.060
<v ->Biomedical engineer.</v>

57
00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:14.280
<v ->Electrical engineer.</v>

58
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.113
<v ->Computer engineer.</v>

59
00:02:15.113 --> 00:02:16.600
<v ->I want to be a pharmacist.</v>

60
00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:17.510
<v ->Mathematician.</v>

61
00:02:17.510 --> 00:02:18.440
<v ->Mechanical engineer.</v>

62
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:21.348
