Check Out These Amazing Kid Science Projects at the White House [VIDEO]
President Obama invited a group of kids and their inventions to the last Science Fair of his presidency.
President Obama hosted the sixth and final White House Science Fair April 13, and kids from all over the country came to show the commander-in-chief their inventions.
To celebrate the occasion, the White House released a video showcasing some highlights from science fairs past, from 2010 when it first started to today.
"It's hard to describe how impressive these young people are," Obama said in the video. "We belong on the cutting edge of innovation. That's an idea as old as America itself -- we're a nation of tinkerers and dreamers and believers in a better tomorrow."
