Goosebumps
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.
A must!
This documentary works in so many levels. Its provocative, inspiring, philosophical, political, etc. It talks about important recent concepts and issues like global sustainability and different approaches and ways of solving issues when you are developing an innovation as well as how to make it a reality(whatever the subject matter is) even showing flaws on our current system to approach global matters. Not only we get to know a contemporary genius and a glimpse of how his mind works but a person that is fighting for a better world. A must to help bring and make science exciting to everybody. It is definitely a great tool for parents and educators.
