Dean Kamen believes the issue with American education in the mid-1980s wasn't the schools, but the cultural lack of celebration for scientific achievement, stating, "All the role models that kids were seeing were [in] the NBA, the NFL." He highlights that while America excelled in entertainment, it needed to elevate the importance of science and technology careers.
Kamen founded FIRST in 1989 to inspire students worldwide in science and technology. Since then, it has impacted over three million students of varying ages, fostering a passion for STEM.
