00:13:18.798 --> 00:13:20.008
[Teacher] We want to make
it an integer,

163
00:13:20.968 --> 00:13:24.347
and to do that, now enter "int"
at the head of the line.

164
00:13:25.890 --> 00:13:27.892
[Teacher] Then, let's give it
a value of 2.

165
00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:30.643
[Teacher] Then we put
a semicolon

166
00:13:30.768 --> 00:13:31.978
at the end of the line

167
00:13:32.103 --> 00:13:33.980
to show that the line is over.

You okay?

169
00:13:41.238 --> 00:13:43.657
I just can't believe

And bad.

We have 6 of 10

The others will be up
in maybe two weeks.

Alright, well what's the bad?

It's not changing anything.

You're changing things
for those girls.

186
00:14:25.115 --> 00:14:30.662
No, we have to grow the girls'
computer classrooms somehow.

187
00:14:32.247 --> 00:14:33.748
You know when your
buddies started Google,

188
00:14:34.708 --> 00:14:36.960
there were other companies
out there winning the race.

forgotten about,

like Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista,
and some really big guys too.

191
00:14:43.467 --> 00:14:46.428
Yahoo, Microsoft,
were completely dominant.

192
00:14:47.638 --> 00:14:49.138
And then, in comes Google.

193
00:14:49.265 --> 00:14:51.017
And they weren't just better.

194
00:14:51.142 --> 00:14:53.810
They made sure everyone
saw they were better.

And this plan is based on what?

201
00:15:12.663 --> 00:15:14.122
Ten minutes of Googling?

202
00:15:15.332 --> 00:15:17.042
Yes, Googling.

203
00:15:18.002 --> 00:15:19.420
But all night.

204
00:15:21.088 --> 00:15:22.172
I spoke to Samir.
He says he can

introduce me to people
in this world.

206
00:15:23.757 --> 00:15:26.843
Roya, we can barely afford
the computer classrooms,

207
00:15:26.968 --> 00:15:28.095
and now you want
to make robots.

208
00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:30.055
Yeah, we have to spread
the word of what we're doing.

Then how about,

None of us know
anything about robots.

This will light a fire.

It'll show our girls
in a new light.

It'll show them win.

The ones in our classrooms?

Most of them can't get
on Facebook.

And if they did,
their fathers and brothers

00:16:03.713 --> 00:16:06.092
would marry them off
or beat them.

They'd beat us.

It's only temporary until
we get our real robot.

484
00:33:22.293 --> 00:33:23.293
[Samir] It looks good.

485
00:33:24.878 --> 00:33:26.713
Don't worry about
where you start.

486
00:33:27.507 --> 00:33:28.673
It's where you go.

487
00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:33.220
Wait, where do you want to go?

488
00:33:41.103 --> 00:33:41.978
Me?

489
00:33:42.605 --> 00:33:45.232
Or all of you?
What do you want?

490
00:33:49.278 --> 00:33:50.530
Okay, someone's
gotta start first.

491
00:33:50.655 --> 00:33:51.738
[laughing]

492
00:33:53.783 --> 00:33:56.327
I really want to go to college

493
00:33:56.452 --> 00:33:58.788
and be a mechanical engineer.

494
00:33:58.913 --> 00:34:00.163
Great. Okay.

495
00:34:01.582 --> 00:34:02.417
[Samir] Okay.

496
00:34:03.708 --> 00:34:07.505
To be a software engineer
and start a company.

497
00:34:09.215 --> 00:34:14.512
To go to England for college
and then for a PhD in New York.

498
00:34:14.637 --> 00:34:16.472
Also great. Yeah.

499
00:34:19.600 --> 00:34:21.768
I want a
Red Mustang convertible.

500
00:34:21.893 --> 00:34:22.812
[Samir] Perfect.

501
00:34:25.648 --> 00:34:28.317
But we don't even
have a real robot.

502
00:34:28.442 --> 00:34:29.360
[Samir] You will.

503
00:34:30.987 --> 00:34:33.072
You've got someone
fighting for you.

504
00:34:33.197 --> 00:34:34.698
You won't end up
where you started.

505
00:34:42.582 --> 00:34:44.417
[upbeat ethnic music]

506
00:34:45.208 --> 00:34:46.710
[cheering and laughing]

507
00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:07.690
Our robot has been in
customs for three weeks.

508
00:35:07.815 --> 00:35:11.777
A robot. That thing
looks like a weapon to me.

509
00:35:11.902 --> 00:35:13.528
We are waiting for the
army to look at it.

510
00:35:13.653 --> 00:35:14.822
The army? No, no, no.

511
00:35:14.947 --> 00:35:18.033
It's not a weapon,
it's a, it's a robot kit.

512
00:35:18.158 --> 00:35:20.745
That's what you say.
I give it to you.

513
00:35:20.870 --> 00:35:24.248
Something blows up next
week. Who gets blamed?

514
00:35:25.708 --> 00:35:28.377
Would somebody sending a
weapon ship it through customs?

515
00:35:28.502 --> 00:35:29.878
How stupid would that be?

516
00:35:30.672 --> 00:35:32.423
People do stupid
things every day.

517
00:35:38.428 --> 00:35:40.013
I am so sorry to see you go.

518
00:35:41.640 --> 00:35:45.102
We have these. Please use it.

519
00:35:45.227 --> 00:35:46.437
Send me pictures of the team.

520
00:35:48.605 --> 00:35:49.773
Samir,

521
00:35:52.777 --> 00:35:54.528
why do you do this?

522
00:35:54.653 --> 00:35:55.738
-Me?
-You.

523
00:35:59.617 --> 00:36:02.245
You know when I first
arrived in Berkeley for my PhD,

524
00:36:02.370 --> 00:36:05.748
[Samir] I was really still just
a village kid from India

525
00:36:07.082 --> 00:36:09.168
and my advisor, he just
won the Fields Medal,

526
00:36:09.293 --> 00:36:10.920
it's like the
Nobel Prize for math.

527
00:36:12.045 --> 00:36:14.090
and God, I was so intimidated.

528
00:36:15.173 --> 00:36:16.967
I had this idea for a startup.

529
00:36:17.968 --> 00:36:19.303
And this person,

530
00:36:19.887 --> 00:36:22.390
he just gives me all the money
he's won for the medal.

531
00:36:22.515 --> 00:36:25.935
[Samir] All of $15,000 to
start my company.

532
00:36:27.853 --> 00:36:35.152
So Roya Mahboob,
until we meet again.

533
00:36:35.277 --> 00:36:36.653
And again.

534
00:36:37.988 --> 00:36:41.117
So first, always
take off any jewelry.

535
00:36:42.075 --> 00:36:45.245
Now, there are three parts
to a weld: your heat source,

536
00:36:45.370 --> 00:36:49.500
your filler metal right here,
and your shielding gas.

537
00:36:50.083 --> 00:36:51.627
To do the weld properly--

538
00:36:51.752 --> 00:36:53.503
Say hello to our robot.

539
00:36:53.670 --> 00:36:55.005
[rhythmic music]

540
00:36:55.547 --> 00:36:57.090
That's impossible.
I was just there.

541
00:36:57.215 --> 00:36:58.300
[Ali] Well, I have a friend
from college,

542
00:36:58.425 --> 00:36:59.593
whose brother works there.

543
00:36:59.718 --> 00:37:00.803
Who just let it go.

544
00:37:00.928 --> 00:37:04.515
Let's just say I won't be
playing on my Xbox anytime soon

545
00:37:04.640 --> 00:37:05.933
and I'll need a new laptop.

546
00:37:24.452 --> 00:37:26.703
[Arezo] I thought we were
getting a robot.

547
00:37:26.828 --> 00:37:28.872
This is just a pile of parts.

548
00:37:28.998 --> 00:37:34.003
[Ali] It will be a robot once we
put it together, somehow.

549
00:37:34.212 --> 00:37:35.963
What do we do first?

550
00:37:36.588 --> 00:37:39.300
They don't tell us.
They just list the parts.

551
00:37:39.425 --> 00:37:40.508
[Roya] That's right.

552
00:37:40.635 --> 00:37:42.260
Every team starts at
the same place.

553
00:37:42.387 --> 00:37:44.180
That's the competition.

554
00:37:48.475 --> 00:37:49.602
Let's build this.

555
00:38:12.917 --> 00:38:14.460
[upbeat music continues]

556
00:38:47.117 --> 00:38:50.078
Okay. Try to get our
girl to weave through.

557
00:38:50.203 --> 00:38:51.455
Not too fast at first.

558
00:38:52.415 --> 00:38:53.498
You're joking.

559
00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:58.920
[Arezo] No.

560
00:39:02.675 --> 00:39:03.758
Let's try again.

561
00:39:09.432 --> 00:39:13.518
[Arezo] No, I beat everyone
in Herat in video games,

562
00:39:13.643 --> 00:39:15.772
where the car moves a
thousand times faster.

563
00:39:15.897 --> 00:39:16.938
[Ali] Try again.

564
00:39:22.193 --> 00:39:23.195
[gentle music]

565
00:39:27.240 --> 00:39:28.200
[Arezo] No.

566
00:39:29.243 --> 00:39:32.037
Oh, this is too hard.

567
00:39:33.538 --> 00:39:34.540
Okay,

568
00:39:36.250 --> 00:39:38.918
Nobody's born knowing
how to do this.

569
00:39:39.043 --> 00:39:40.295
You just have to keep trying.

570
00:39:41.547 --> 00:39:42.923
Why? I'm terrible.

571
00:39:45.092 --> 00:39:49.597
There is this famous Korean
football player, Heung-min Son.

572
00:39:49.722 --> 00:39:50.638
You've heard of him?

573
00:39:51.723 --> 00:39:54.602
At every practice he takes
1000 shots on the goal.

574
00:39:55.477 --> 00:39:57.228
He's the greatest
Asian football player ever.

575
00:39:58.313 --> 00:40:01.233
And still at every
practice another 1000.

576
00:40:02.735 --> 00:40:05.028
The other teams have
driven their robots

577
00:40:05.153 --> 00:40:06.697
thousands of times.

578
00:40:06.822 --> 00:40:10.117
They're much better than us,
but they won't always be.

[music intensifies]

Sorry for all the emails.

You're a very
persistent person, Roya.

588
00:41:17.727 --> 00:41:22.313
Yeah, it's just,
it's our money.

589
00:41:22.438 --> 00:41:25.860
[Roya] My money really. It won't
take us to the finish line,

590
00:41:25.985 --> 00:41:27.737
but we have a first rate team.

591
00:41:28.987 --> 00:41:31.115
No one from the
government there is helping.

592

[Roya] No, nothing from them
or anyone else.

593
00:41:34.493 --> 00:41:37.872
I, I know that if we can just
get to the competition,

594
00:41:38.913 --> 00:41:40.290
we can win.

595
00:41:42.167 --> 00:41:44.002
It's a tough situation.

596
00:41:49.342 --> 00:41:51.052
Alright, look,

597
00:41:52.177 --> 00:41:56.307
you and Ali train a team that
can really compete. And...

598
00:41:58.850 --> 00:42:00.352
I'll get you to Washington.

599
00:42:02.312 --> 00:42:05.732
[Roya] So then you're, you're
giving-- you're funding us.

600
00:42:05.857 --> 00:42:08.402
Don't ask. My company will.
We'll figure it out.

601
00:42:09.528 --> 00:42:10.947
[Samir] You know why?

602
00:42:11.072 --> 00:42:13.865
I am a very persistent person.

603
00:42:13.990 --> 00:42:14.992
...persistent person.

604
00:42:18.287 --> 00:42:19.330
You are.

your applications

and we've decided to award
Roya and Taara US visas.

What?
What about everyone else?

qualify at this time.

615

This time, no.

616
00:42:43.770 --> 00:42:45.730
We have a competition
in three days.

617
00:42:45.855 --> 00:42:47.692
[Barbara] The two of you
can go compete.

618
00:42:47.817 --> 00:42:48.942
Good luck.

[receding footsteps]

I thought the hardest part
would be convincing your uncle.

621
00:42:58.910 --> 00:43:00.370
How did you do it in the end?

622
00:43:03.332 --> 00:43:05.960
I said if we won,
I would become famous

623
00:43:06.085 --> 00:43:07.795
and attract rich husband.

624
00:43:10.297 --> 00:43:11.298
Of course.

625
00:43:26.230 --> 00:43:27.272
I'm going back in.

626
00:43:27.397 --> 00:43:28.898
Won't do any good.

627
00:43:29.023 --> 00:43:30.275
This is crazy.

628
00:43:34.822 --> 00:43:37.282
[Roya] This makes no sense.
How can two of us get visas

629
00:43:37.407 --> 00:43:38.575
and not the rest of our team?

630
00:43:38.700 --> 00:43:40.035
You wouldn't send a
football team

631
00:43:40.160 --> 00:43:41.953
with only half its players.

632
00:43:42.078 --> 00:43:43.580
We all have to go.

633
00:43:44.665 --> 00:43:46.000
We have our policies.

634
00:43:46.125 --> 00:43:49.293
And many, many people
want visas to go to the US

635
00:43:49.420 --> 00:43:53.382
But we have an invitation.

636
00:43:56.593 --> 00:43:58.345
It seems there was an error.

637
00:43:58.470 --> 00:43:59.680
Thank God.

638
00:43:59.805 --> 00:44:03.725
Taara, you've traveled
to Iran in the last five years.

639
00:44:04.810 --> 00:44:06.520
My grandmother lives there.

640
00:44:06.645 --> 00:44:09.607
Well, right now we don't allow
anyone who's recently been

641
00:44:09.732 --> 00:44:11.525
to Iran to come to the US.

642
00:44:11.942 --> 00:44:12.777
Why not?

643

So I'm glad you came back.

The goal of the

to bring together teens

education for girls?

is a chance for her

What we wanted to say,
is that our robot is

1440
01:41:08.147 --> 01:41:09.397
for mines to...

1441
01:41:14.612 --> 01:41:15.862
One of the biggest dangers

1442
01:41:15.987 --> 01:41:18.115
to people in the world
are landmines.

1443
01:41:19.073 --> 01:41:22.160
Our robot doesn't stop
the mines from working.

1444
01:41:22.285 --> 01:41:24.788
That's for, for...

1445
01:41:24.913 --> 01:41:27.290
-the army?
-Yes.

1446
01:41:27.623 --> 01:41:28.750
The army.

1447
01:41:28.875 --> 01:41:31.920
Our robot finds the mines
and it's very light.

1448
01:41:32.753 --> 01:41:35.215
So light that it won't
set off the small mines

1449
01:41:35.340 --> 01:41:37.175
by rolling over them.

1450
01:41:37.300 --> 01:41:39.887
Those are the most common
mines in Afghanistan.

1451
01:41:40.012 --> 01:41:41.095
And the world.

1452
01:41:41.972 --> 01:41:44.140
Our robot has a metal detector

1453
01:41:44.265 --> 01:41:45.683
and when it finds
something in the dirt,

1454
01:41:45.808 --> 01:41:47.685
it automatically stops.

1455
01:41:53.150 --> 01:41:54.693
Not clear to you.

1456
01:41:54.818 --> 01:41:56.820
No, no.
It's all It's fantastic.

1457
01:41:56.945 --> 01:41:57.778
Really?

1458
01:41:57.905 --> 01:41:58.905
Yeah.

1459
01:42:04.202 --> 01:42:06.788
Our cane uses laser-based tech,

1460
01:42:06.913 --> 01:42:09.667
which measures the distance
to obstacles in a path.

1461
01:42:09.792 --> 01:42:12.920
This wheel in front guides the
person with impaired vision

1462
01:42:13.045 --> 01:42:15.838
by gently pulling them
to the left or right

1463
01:42:15.963 --> 01:42:19.843
and around obstacles to take
them wherever they want to go.

1464
01:42:19.968 --> 01:42:22.803
Our robotic cane will
be highly affordable.

1465
01:42:22.930 --> 01:42:25.973
There are over 250 million
people in the world

1466
01:42:26.098 --> 01:42:27.350
with impaired vision.

1467
01:42:27.475 --> 01:42:29.060
And we hope to
improve the lives of

1468
01:42:29.185 --> 01:42:30.770
as many people as we can.

1469

[crowd applauds]

1470
01:42:34.398 --> 01:42:37.152
And then this arm moves
back and forth.

1471
01:42:37.277 --> 01:42:40.030
That's existing technology.
We didn't make that.

1472
01:42:43.908 --> 01:42:44.743
You want a soda?

1473
01:42:48.747 --> 01:42:49.582
Yeah.

1474
01:42:54.293 --> 01:42:55.545
Can I use this?

1475
01:42:55.670 --> 01:42:57.672
<i>Sure, chica.
Whatever basura you find.</i>

1476
01:42:57.797 --> 01:42:58.632
What?

1477
01:42:59.173 --> 01:43:00.508
Trash. It's yours.

1478
01:43:00.842 --> 01:43:01.718
Thank you.

1479
01:43:04.262 --> 01:43:05.347
Any news?

1480
01:43:05.472 --> 01:43:07.015
Oh, we're working on it.

1481
01:43:07.140 --> 01:43:08.475
Well, you have 35 minutes.

1482
01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:09.475
If you're not ready by then,

1483

the rules are,
you'll have to forfeit.

1484
01:43:10.935 --> 01:43:12.853
No, we'll be ready.
I, I promise.

-Hector.
-Yeah. Yeah.

1486
01:43:15.523 --> 01:43:16.317
Do the weld, man.

1487
01:43:16.442 --> 01:43:18.568
No, I know exactly how it
needs to be done.

Sheilding gas.

1489
01:43:19.695 --> 01:43:21.655
Okay. Okay.

1490
01:43:21.780 --> 01:43:22.530
[Taara] Where's the helmet?

1491
01:43:22.655 --> 01:43:23.782
She always like this?

1492
01:43:23.907 --> 01:43:24.908
[Taara] I need gloves.

1493
01:43:25.033 --> 01:43:26.618
She lost her father recently.

1494
01:43:28.162 --> 01:43:30.538
What happened?

1495
01:43:31.290 --> 01:43:32.540
Um, a bombing.

1496
01:43:33.208 --> 01:43:34.627
[Hector] Put this on.

1497
01:43:36.628 --> 01:43:37.587
No.

1498
01:43:40.298 --> 01:43:42.383
Hector hot that thing up, bro.
Come on man. Move it.

1499
01:43:42.508 --> 01:43:44.093
-Taara: Come on.
-I'm moving. I'm moving.

1500
01:43:45.178 --> 01:43:46.137
Okay. How much time do
you guys have?

1501
01:43:46.263 --> 01:43:48.140
25 minutes. Less.

1502
01:43:49.307 --> 01:43:50.767
Let's do it.

1503
01:43:50.892 --> 01:43:55.105
Our robot, Peggy, is intended
for search and rescue missions.

1504
01:43:55.938 --> 01:43:58.567
There is great values for
robots to have legs so

1505
01:43:58.692 --> 01:44:01.695
that they can get to places
where wheels would get stuck.

1506
01:44:01.820 --> 01:44:04.698
With our robot, we can be
a part of rescue efforts

1507
01:44:04.823 --> 01:44:06.283
and help save the
lives of those

1508
01:44:06.408 --> 01:44:07.783
that have been
injured or trapped.

[Esin] My family who
live on farms.

1511
01:44:18.712 --> 01:44:21.255
They have to go out to
the fields every day,

1512
01:44:21.382 --> 01:44:23.842
but they don't know
where the mines are.

1513
01:44:23.967 --> 01:44:28.555
My cousin died from a mine.
She was 13.

1514
01:44:30.848 --> 01:44:34.227
My country too. We
have many mines.

1515
01:44:49.242 --> 01:44:50.327
Where are we?

1516
01:44:55.998 --> 01:44:57.083

Yes.

1529
01:45:30.325 --> 01:45:34.162
I did a tour in the army there
in 2005. The Korangal Valley.

1530
01:45:35.038 --> 01:45:37.707
Really? We heard
all about that.

Lost a lot of friends
near this place called Quam.

Yes. We love it.
We study computers too.

Come on.

1575
01:49:01.118 --> 01:49:04.497
And we have made
a mine detection robot.

1576
01:49:05.832 --> 01:49:08.083
[Esin] Many thousands of
adults and children

1577
01:49:08.208 --> 01:49:11.212
are killed every year
by landmines.

1578
01:49:11.337 --> 01:49:14.215
The most common is
where, if you step on it,

1579
01:49:14.340 --> 01:49:15.717
the mine explodes.

1580
01:49:16.760 --> 01:49:20.305
Our robot is
designed for them. Arezo...

1581
01:49:23.850 --> 01:49:26.853
It's inexpensive to build
and easy to assemble.

1582
01:49:26.978 --> 01:49:30.107
So anyone can build them
out of old car parts.

1583
01:49:31.232 --> 01:49:33.735
At the front of the robot,
is a metal detector.

1584
01:49:34.777 --> 01:49:37.655
Once the mine is identified,
the robot beeps,

1585
01:49:37.780 --> 01:49:39.782
and marks the spot with paint.

1586
01:49:43.202 --> 01:49:46.623
We don't remove the mines.
That's for the army.

1587
01:49:46.748 --> 01:49:47.998
[Esin] But knowing
where they are

1588
01:49:48.123 --> 01:49:50.668
is the most important thing.

1589
01:49:50.793 --> 01:49:54.005
And as the robot moves,
it paints out lines to show

1590
01:49:54.130 --> 01:49:57.383
where it is checked for mines
and where it's now safe to go.

1591
01:49:59.218 --> 01:50:02.888
We hope that we can produce
lots of these robots one day.

1592
01:50:03.765 --> 01:50:05.308
[Esin] We will also give
the design

1593
01:50:05.433 --> 01:50:07.060
to people in
other countries

1594
01:50:07.185 --> 01:50:09.478
so they can build these
robots themselves.

01:50:45.973 --> 01:50:46.975
Good luck.

1599
01:50:47.100 --> 01:50:48.308
You too.

1600
01:50:49.685 --> 01:50:51.020

1601
01:50:57.568 --> 01:50:59.695
[Jessica] The great
Isaac Newton said

1602
01:50:59.820 --> 01:51:01.655
in his first law of physics.

1603
01:51:01.782 --> 01:51:04.867
A body at rest tends
to stay at rest.

1604
01:51:04.992 --> 01:51:07.453
A body in motion
tends to stay in motion.

1605
01:51:08.622 --> 01:51:11.917
And all of you here,
are in motion.

1606
01:51:12.958 --> 01:51:15.170
And are leading us into
the future of science

1607
01:51:15.295 --> 01:51:17.922
in a way which brings
us all so much hope.

1608
01:51:18.047 --> 01:51:19.340
[crowd applauds]

1609
01:51:20.175 --> 01:51:24.387
Today was a competition
and a game in some way.

1610
01:51:25.597 --> 01:51:27.515
But it's also serious business.

1611
01:51:27.640 --> 01:51:29.850
Because in our times
we are confronted

1612
01:51:29.975 --> 01:51:33.187
with tremendous challenges,
global warming,

1613
01:51:34.063 --> 01:51:37.858
environmental destruction,
wars and more.

1614
01:51:37.983 --> 01:51:40.237
It'll be up to your
generation to face them.

1615
01:51:41.362 --> 01:51:44.365
And today, you have risen
to that challenge

1616
01:51:44.490 --> 01:51:46.952
with imagination
and brilliance.

1617
01:51:48.953 --> 01:51:50.205
Thank you.

1618
01:51:54.583 --> 01:51:56.753
Well, I suppose now you want
to hear the winners.

1619
01:51:57.462 --> 01:51:58.755
Oh...

1620
01:51:59.963 --> 01:52:01.548
Ready?

1621
01:52:01.673 --> 01:52:04.552
[Jessica] The bronze
medal goes to

1622
01:52:04.677 --> 01:52:07.430
a team whose technology
has the potential

1623
01:52:07.555 --> 01:52:11.392
to help rescue people in the
most difficult circumstances.

1624
01:52:12.352 --> 01:52:14.978
The great team
from Pennsylvania.

1625
01:52:15.147 --> 01:52:16.730
[crowd cheering]

1626
01:52:23.655 --> 01:52:26.032
Nice work.

1627
01:52:30.495 --> 01:52:32.413
Now for the silver medal.

1628
01:52:32.538 --> 01:52:35.792
This goes to a team whose
innovative robot cane,

1629
01:52:35.917 --> 01:52:37.252
will change the lives

1630
01:52:37.377 --> 01:52:40.003
of millions of visually
impaired people.

1631
01:52:40.130 --> 01:52:45.302
Please congratulate this
amazing team from California.

1632
01:52:45.427 --> 01:52:46.635
[crowd cheering]

1633
01:52:47.720 --> 01:52:50.848
-Oh,
-Elaha: oh no.

1634
01:52:54.643 --> 01:52:56.145
And finally the gold medal.

1635
01:52:57.397 --> 01:53:00.192
Now today's winner
will surprise no one

1636
01:53:00.317 --> 01:53:01.650
who has paid close attention

1637
01:53:01.775 --> 01:53:03.653
to the inventions
in this hall today.

1638
01:53:04.487 --> 01:53:06.948
The gold medal goes to...

1639
01:53:11.743 --> 01:53:13.830
The Afghan girls robotics team.

1640
01:53:13.955 --> 01:53:16.165

You did it. You. You did it.

1654

We all did it.

1655
