NHD Annotation
For this annotation I went to http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/kamen.htm. In this site I found out that Dean Kamen founded an organization called FIRST,(For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). This organization has helped students be interested in science and technology. They also created the FIRST Lego League, a league to give young adults from the ages of 9 to 14 a hands on experience in robotics. The league is to compete with their custom robots. He has also invented the iBot personal transportation veichle. This invention has had an impact on the lives of countless people with disabilties. He also invented the first insulin pump. This invention has made countless diabetics' lives better. This inventor has had an impact in my life. My mom has had an insulin pump for ten years. This has made my moms disease more managable. Dean Kamen has saved my mom's life.
