Leadership

OUR FOUNDER

Dean Kamen is a prolific inventor, entrepreneur, and tireless advocate for science and technology. His roles as an inventor and an advocate are intertwined with his passion for practical, real-world uses of technology, and his personal determination to spread excitement for the virtues of STEM to the more than two billion youths around the world. Dean’s drive comes from his firm belief that the tools of science and engineering will help equip the world’s youth to solve the most pressing global challenges we face as a planet, both today and tomorrow. One of Dean’s proudest accomplishments is founding both FIRST® and FIRST® Global, organizations dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use, and enjoy science and technology.
