The Segway and Beyond

Dean Kamen made national headlines when he released the Segway Human Transpoter two years ago, but he was known to New Hampshire residents long before that. Dean had previously invented a number of revolutionary medical devices like a portable dialysis machine, the world's first insulin pump for diabetics, and the I-BOT wheelchair which can climb stairs. Dean is also the founder of
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) an organization which gets young people interested in science, engineering and invention. Dean talks about the future of the Segway, his passion for getting young people involved in science and his plans to bring water and electricity to the most remote areas of the developing world.
