About Jessie

Hi! This is Jessie. I am earning a degree in early childhood education for grades 4K-6. I have two daughters who are 7 and 4 years old, and I love spending as much time as possible playing with them and teaching them everything they want to learn.

Before watching his video, I had never heard of Dean Kamen before. After watching the video, I realize why he was chosen as our team's namesake. He is an amazing inventor who is passionate about what he does. The video was about his invention of a robotic-type prosthetic arm that he was asked to make for soldiers who had lost their limbs. Because of Kamen, these soldiers are now able to do things that they thought they would never be able to do again. This is a true leader who knows what people need, and is able to meet those needs in astounding ways through his inventions. In addition to his inventions, he also has the goal to get more children interested in science and engineering. There seems to be no task too big for this man to tackle, and I think he was a great choice to use as our namesake.
