US President Barack Obama just won the hearts of a team of Girl Scout Daisies after they spent some time together at the White House.
The group of six-year-olds from Tulsa, Oklahoma called "The Supergirls" represented the Girl Scouts of the USA during the 2015 White House Science Fair. They showcased a page-turning robot while wearing superhero costumes, shares the Huffington Post.
"It's a prototype," one of the girls told Obama, while the rest of the group explained that they came up with the idea of the robot during a "brainstorm session."
One of the girls even adorably asked if Obama ever had a brainstorm session himself, to which he replied: "I have had a couple brainstorming sessions, but I didn't come up with anything this good! So you guys are already better brainstormers than I am."
Before the president could finish, one of the girls added, "What did you come up with?"
"I came up with things like, you know, health care. It turned out okay, but it started out with some prototypes," answered Obama.
The girls' robot runs on batteries and is built from Legos. The thoughtful Girl Scouts decided to create a page-turning robot after a librarian told them that some people have difficulty turning the pages of books because of arthritis and different kinds of ailments.
Troop leader Suzanne Dodson is thrilled that the young girls had the opportunity to speak to Obama and spend time with him, because it really helps with their confidence.
"It really is a problem with girls, when they get to middle school, they lose confidence in their own ability to succeed in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)," she said. "Having this experience at a young age really gives them a confidence boost."
