US President Barack Obama has profusely praised two Indian-American science whiz kids for their innovative ideas and path breaking thinking, which he said would help serve the global community.

"All of you are showing the rest of us that it's never too early in life to make a difference," Obama said in his remarks after interacting with the students who had come from across the country.
"You teach us about the power of reason and logic, and trying things and figuring out whether they work, and if they don't, learning from that and trying something new. And you remind us that, together, through science, we can tackle some of the biggest challenges that we face," said the US President as he singled several of these whiz kids two of them were Indian-American.
