Inventor Dean Kamen will Host You and 9 Guests to Tour His Innovative Home and Technology Museum, "WestWind" in Bedford, NH.

Described by some as a cross between a technology museum and Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, Dean Kamen's home (known as "WestWind") is a hexagonal wonderland of fascinating inventions, unique antiques and crazy cool gizmos. Dean will host a private dinner and tour of his home for up to 10 adults.

Dean Kamen is an inventor, an entrepreneur, and a tireless advocate for science and technology. His roles as inventor and advocate are intertwined-his own passion for technology and its practical uses has driven his personal determination to spread the word about technology's virtues and by so doing to change the culture of the United States.

As an inventor, he holds more than 440 U.S. and foreign patents, many of them for innovative medical devices that have expanded the frontiers of health care worldwide. These include the AutoSyringe infusion pump, the HomeChoice™ peritoneal dialysis system, the iBOTTM mobility device, and the Segway Human Transporter.

Kamen has received many awards for his efforts. Notably, Kamen was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 2000. Presented by President Clinton, this award was in recognition for inventions that have advanced medical care worldwide, and for innovative and imaginative leadership in awakening America to the excitement of science and technology. Kamen was also awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize in 2002, and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in May 2005. He has been a member of the National Academy of Engineering since 1997.
