SlingShot

Like most, I'd heard of the Segway, even considered purchasing one for myself, but I hadn't given a whole lot of thought to who had actually invented it. And had never heard of Dean Kamen or his work.

'SlingShot' was a wake up call, both to the presence of Dean Kamen, the modern day Edison or DaVinci, and to the seriousness of the issues he's passionate about. STEAM/STEM and FIRST Robotics seem like the next logical step for schools to take and it surprises me that these programs aren't a nationwide standard. I wish I had them when I was in school.

But, I think more impressively is what 'SlingShot' did to my outlook on the water crisis. Wow. I never fully understood what people and especially young girls have to go through every day just to drink or wash or cook. Something has to be done and it's my hope Dean Kamen will be the one to accomplish it.

This movie makes me want to do something. Watch it and be inspired. We can fix this.
