This unforgettable moment took part when the Smithsonian's annual Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards for the winners and involve the diverse range of inspired viewers in the time of founder of the TED Conference to fashion designers Thom Browne to the company where the partners along with the social entrepreneurs to express the requirements in improving the countries and also take part in the education program for the local high school students. 

In this remarks, the First lady Michelle Obama wished the winners for "pushing boundaries, creating and revealing beauty where we least expect it, and helping us all lead healthier, more sustainable lives:" she also unveiled as follows: 

“And that is the defining characteristic of today’s honorees.  All of them have done something really good for our country and our world.  From the clothes we wear to the technologies we use to the public spaces we enjoy, their work affects just about every aspect of our lives. And on days like today, when we gather to celebrate these extraordinary individuals, it’s easy to go on and on about everything they’ve achieved and the impact that they’ve had.  It is a very easy thing to do with this group. 

But it’s also important to remember that today’s awards ceremony is only part of the story.  We know that for these men and women, the journey to this day began long before they ever walked through the doors of the White House.  It started in studios and classrooms and dorm rooms, where they spent long hours and late nights hunched over a sketchpad or squinting at a computer screen, drafting and redrafting and re-redrafting.  (Laughter.) 

And this is a point I especially want to emphasize for all of the young people who have joined us today.  What you guys have to understand is that these honorees weren’t born brilliant designers.  They became brilliant designers because they worked hard.  They’re here today because they had a dream, and they put in long, hard, exhausting work -- all of that that it takes to follow that dream. “
