Dean Kamen, founder and president of DEKA Research & Development Corporation, speaks with "Next Steps Forward" host Chris Meek in-depth about the impressive and life changing technologies he and his team at DEKA work diligently to develop and provide. These technologies include a portable dialysis machine, the iBOT™ Mobility system, a robotic arm and the ever popular Segway™ Human Transporter, among a plethora of others. Not only will Kamen speak about the process involved in designing these sophisticated technologies, but will also provide insight into the inspiration behind his proudest achievement: founding FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and FIRST® Global. Kamen will motivate listeners to commit themselves to understanding and listening to science and technology, and perhaps most importantly, to find enjoyment in it.
