President Obama is on the first stop of his “jobs and opportunities tour.� He said it’s because the Austin area has some “terrific things going on� that are good models for America to follow.
The president used his first stop today as an example: Manor New Tech High School, where he said students are learning the skills they need to succeed.
“That’s what’s happening here, right at Manor New Tech,� Obama said. “There’s a reason why teachers and principals from all over the country are coming down to see what you’re up to.�
Before the president spoke to the student body, he visited with students in a robotics class at Manor New Tech.
KUT News photographer Filipa Rodrigues was on the scene in Manor. Take a look at the photos below.
