Is That the President on a Bicycle? Yesterday President Obama hosted the third White House Science Fair, bringing more than 100 student scientists and innovators from more than 40 states. Their projects included a robotic arm and a bicycle-powered water filtration system -- which President Obama had a chance to test drive. See some of the best highlights of the White House Science Fair. President Barack Obama talks with Kiona Elliott,18, and Payton Kaar, 16, from Oakland Park, Fla., as he pedals their bicycle-powered emergency water-sanitation station as they demonstrate their exhibit at the White House Science Fair, in the East Garden of the White House, April 22, 2013. The fair is a key commitment in the President’s "Educate to Innovate" campaign to inspire more girls and boys to excel in STEM subjects.
