That's a lot of money.

If someone just handed you $500 billion said Here, go do something good for society, what would you do?

I don't know if you know it, but society's kind of divided right now.

It's like we're on different teams, and when we're on teams, we tend to play games right.

I don't like to even touch politics because of this division, this polarization.

But just as a thought experiment.

Look at this graph.

There's two teams.

There's the blue team and the red team.

Where would you put yourself on this graph?

You might find yourself over here on the left, or maybe over here on the right, or somewhere in between whatever you're into, that's cool.

But I kind of look at it a little bit differently.

I'm not really on the graph.

I don't really care what team gets the credit, and I don't even really want to play the game.

I want to be a part of those things that are just inarguably good.

That was a university for mechanical engineering.

It was pretty much understood that if you were to graduate, you would have a job because there was a deficit of engineers to fill engineering jobs.

Eight years later, my sister went through university and she read the market forces differently.

She chose computer science.

I thought it would be interesting to get her perspective on what it's like to be a female computer scientist.

Hey, guys, Destin asked me to make a quick clip about women in computer science.

But the thing is, I'm actually really busy computer science ing as we speak.

I really need to form at this aggregation right now.

I can't make a video clip, so that's all she gave me.

She kind of messed my script up.

So here's how this works.

She's too busy working.

She is a senior software engineer.

Her opening salary was 150% what mine was when I graduated, adjusted for inflation and everything.

If you want a job when you graduate, computer science is the ticket.

Google invited me via email to this event.

Industry leaders from all different types of companies and government leaders were coming together to ball up 500 million stick in dollars and allocated to get coating into schools.

This is a big deal because in the current loaded political tribalism environment, this this email invite I got looked like a breath of fresh air look like people working together.

So, yeah, I put on a suit and go to Detroit and listen to people working together for something I agree with.

So this is what that looks like.

Hey, it's me destined.

Welcome back to smarter every day I'm in Detroit today, I have been asked to come to an event about computer science for Children.

It's put on by co dot or the Internet association.

A lot of a lot of groups have come together.

It's a big deal.

So there's $500 million that's being given specifically to focus on computer science.

Literacy for minorities, young girls in rural students.

So I'm in Detroit.

Ivanka Trump's gonna be here in a second.

We're gonna talk about what was going on, and I'm gonna watch this event first and then we'll we'll talk about this guy is Michael Beckerman.

He's the president, CEO of something called the Internet Association.

The Internet association is responsible for getting all these industry partners together to donate all this money.

This is how he kicked things off that we're able to together a commitment of over $300 million in the next five years.

Thank Trump administration.

Everybody, I think, saw their terrific announcement yesterday a new initiative creating a large pool of funding for computer science and stem programming.

And that would have been possible without leadership and vision of Ivanka Trump is with us today, so I just wanted to thank you as well.

Thank you for what you done.

After this.

The Panelist came up, and I'll summarize exactly what went down.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Salesforce dot or each gave 50 million bucks.

Lucky Martin gave 25 million eccentric gave over 10 million, and General Motors and plural sites are given 10 million.

There were a lot of things said on this stage, but the one thing that was very clear is everyone was unified on this one particular topic.

We're not divided.

We all care about our Children.

We all care about the future.

But our goal is to really create pathways are job for all Americans, even those who walked out of a four year college model for my money.

Hadi Partovi from co dot org's seemed to sum it up the best.

This guy has been beating this drum for years, and you could tell this was a really big moment for him.

Listen to what he had to say.

Americans expect the tech industry to address some of these things, and today they're putting their money where their mouth is to do that.

On top of that, the administration is coming together in a really unique public private partnership that we don't really see in our country very often.

You know, our country lives were living in divided times.

Everybody knows that.

But everybody agrees on the idea that every American should have the opportunity as a student to have a great career in front of them.

And the school they go to should prepare for that.

Great.

We're no matter where they want to get into.

So I wanted to thank you personally for championing this on being for such a champion.

Particularly diversity for girls, for African Americans, for Hispanic Americans.

We have leased access to this opportunity today.

I want to point out something right now.

Somehow I don't know how this happened, but in society right now that we have come to believe that if you agree with a person on a topic, somehow you're signaling to the rest of the world that you agree with everything that person thinks on every topic.

That's simply not true.

It's okay to say that something that's good is good.

I'll give an example.

This makes me look bad.

So maybe you'll believe it more on this channel.

In particular, I've done a video in the past saying that one particular practice that Facebook was doing was inequitable, and I disagreed with it and was a very strong video.

But here Facebook has given $50 million for computer science education.

That is a good thing, and people might say whatever.

It's a PR stunt.

I don't care what people think.

You've given $50 million to computer science education, and that is a good thing no matter what anybody says.

By the way, all these companies that don't traditionally agree with some of the policies of the current administration are sitting down with Ivanka Trump.

Everybody's on stage doing a good thing.

This is exactly what I want the future to look like.

They're listening to each other.

And speaking of that we should.

I actually got to go meet some of these people one on one and listen to them.

This is really fun like this.

I came to this country as intimate as an immigrant from Iran on my family is leaving during a time of war.

Came here as a 12 year old with my twin brother, and we had nothing to our name but I other than my ability to code.

And 30 years later, I've made more money than I need.

And I've started companies that employ thousands of Americans hold because I learned coating and computer science and the person who taught me was my dad and the reason I started co dot organise.

Most Americans aren't gonna learn Cody and computer science from their dad.

Computer science is taught in schools.

Not only will every American have the opportunity, we can also address the diversity issues about who goes into the field.

Okay, I'm here with Mary from Microsoft, and you have some one liners there during the panel.

One of them, he said, is like a goal without a plan is just a wish, right?

Right.

And I will say I will say it now.

But I took that from Melinda French Gates, who also has been just such a strong leader for women and driving diversity in the workplace, too.

But nonetheless, it's really true.

Once we set a goal, we need to really have indicators to ensure that we're going to meet those goals.

And my goal is that in five years there's computer science in every single high school and that we have teachers who are also representative, that we have women teachers and then we have young people of color teaching computer science.

Okay, regardless of political background, we can all agree that smart kids is something we all want it.

So I'm here with Michael from the Internet Association and Ivanka Trump and you guys, government and industry just came together.

We're talking $500 million to teach young girls and minorities and rural areas have a code, right?

Yeah, absolutely Well, The Presidential memorandum committed a minimum of $200 million annually, and the private sector also announced enormous contribution today towards computer science education.

We're super passionate about coding.

We think that the jobs of the future will flyer this people skills and I'm also really excited that the presidential memorandum flyers at the Department of Education considers inclusion in the design of these programs because we need to encourage gender racial diversity in the fields, which, unfortunately, women's participation has been moving in the wrong direction in recent years.

And we only represent a little over 22% of the computer science field.

So hopefully this will take a big step and changing the dynamic these air these jobs for everybody.

As long pointed out, her leadership has been absolutely incredible.

There are four or five 100,000 open computer science jobs across the country that's in agriculture and banking sectors outside of technology.

Yeah, we're only graduating 50,000 students a year.

Less than half of the schools are teaching computer science.

But all the parents 90% of parents want their kids to learn this.

So this is important for kids.

Every kid across the country here in Detroit, in every community, regardless you want to go into tech or not, and the leadership that Avakian administration shown has been absolutely incredible.

It's just great to be here representing private sector, matching this commitment as well.

That's also that's that's what?

I'm really excited about everybody working together, regardless, political differences to do the right thing, which is really good.

And I'm a father as well.

We've got four kids, and so I can relate to all the stuff you guys have going on.

It's a big deal.

My sister's computer science.

I really excited about it.

So I really appreciate your time.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

One final thought here.

Do you remember that political graph?

I feel like I have a really unique perspective right now because recently I've done something interesting on both sides of that.

Graff Last year, for example, I met with President Barack Obama.

And like anyone in life, I have things that I agreed with him on and things that had disagreed with him on.

But I chose to focus on the good things and we made progress together.

I had the exact same experience with the vodka Trump.

She is a sharp, competent woman who just used her position of leadership to accomplish some great things on a topic I care about computer science.

My point is this If we focus on our disagreements, there will be no progress.

But if we actually take the time and listen to each other, then we can work together with the things that we do agree on.

Only then are we really going to make the future smarter every day.

And I think we can all agree that that is in arguably good.

You're probably thinking, What's the deal?

Dustin, did you just make this video to virtue?

Signaling.

Feel better about yourself?

No.

No.

What do you know where you're not listening?

There's 500 freaking $1,000,000 that you didn't know existed a few minutes ago.

And we can funnel that into your local school.

I can't, like, spend it right.

So they're trying to figure out how they're gonna allocate this money.

So I'm gonna leave links in the video description.

Student, be smart about this.

Mom.

Dad, Teacher Administrator.

Don't wait on anybody else to do this.

Go to the link.

Inter your school.

Tell them everything they needed.

No.

Let's figure out how to get a coating curriculum in your local school.

You didn't have to have kids or even be connected the school.

Put the stuff in there.

Let's figure out how to get coating into schools.

When we go to Mars, there's gonna be millions of lines of code on that vehicle and it's gonna be done by this generation.

So used.

The leaks get the money and learn to code.

The future is yours.

You can do it a promise.

Anyway, I'm destined.

You get smarter every day, have a good one and everybody just be nice to each other.

Look at what we're doing.

When we're nice to each other, it's also anyway, Bye.
