Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking to 1,800 educators from across the country at the 2015 GEAR UP National Conference. If we’re going to continue to succeed as a nation, we need so many more of our young people to reach their fullest potential. This begins with education, and with taking young people where they are and helping them understand that they can achieve almost everything they can imagine. #GEARUP is a powerful example of this. Since I introduced the legislation to create the program early in my Congressional career, GEAR UP has helped millions of students succeed in high school and enter college. I encourage you to watch my speech below. #GEARUPworks

Yesterday I had the privilege to meet with our district’s #CongressionalAppChallenge winner, Robert Fetell, a student at Germantown Friends School. Robert was honored at the Capitol for his app, Chess Ratings. To have the ability to conceive and develop a software app at his young age is quite an achievement. I hope that Robert’s passion for technology and development spreads, and is an inspiration to other students as we continue to push science, engineering, and technology in our Philadelphia classrooms.
