President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology

Imagine you are playing with some building blocks at home. You like building different structures but sometimes you might get confused about how to build something or what to build next. That's when you might ask your parents or older siblings for advice on what to do.

The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology is just like that! Instead of building blocks, they give advice to the President of the United States on scientific and technological issues. They help the President make decisions about things like healthcare, environmental policies, and technology innovations that might affect our daily lives.

These advisors are made up of really smart people who work in different areas of science and technology, like biology, engineering, computer science, and medicine. They meet often to discuss different topics and research new ideas to share with the President. They then provide their findings in a report to help the President make the best decisions.

So, just like you might ask for help from your family, the President has a group of experts to help him make informed decisions about things that might impact the lives of people across the country.
