Engineering a Better Future with FIRST
Judy Spitz SVP and CIO Verizon Business, spends the final half hour of the marathon speaking with Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway(r) Personal Transporter, iBOT(r) Mobility System and other medical technology devices and founder of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
The backdrop for their discussion is the FIRST Connecticut Regional robotics competition, held in Hartford, Conn. Spitz and Kamen speak with young women from several FIRST teams, their teammates and parents to hear how their experiences with FIRST have influenced their educational choices as well as how FIRST's emphasis on "gracious professionalism" has taught them important life skills.
Kamen also discusses FIRST's mission to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and his personal mission of helping young people discover the excitement and rewards of science and technology through FIRST |

The Best of Our Knowledge - Air Date: 3/24/08
New research is showing why relatively few women choose engineering careers.
Profiled is Sofia Kovalevskaya.
To listen or download, go to http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wamc/news.newsmain?action=article&ARTICLE_ID=1246169
Glenn Busby Co-host and producer of The Best of Our Knowledge, has made a special commitment to report on important developments in educational research. At every college and university there is a great deal of research being conducted which could potentially have a dramatic impact on the ways in which we educate our students, from the lower grades right through graduate school. Unfortunately, all too often the results of that research are relegated to a shelf somewhere, or are only seen by the small number of people who actually read the scholarly journals. There is no question that the work is being done -- the problem is, once it's done, the people in a position to benefit from it most haven't often gotten a chance to hear about it. The Best of Our Knowledge is a production of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio's National Productions in Albany, N.Y. |
