"To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders."
Dean Kamen, Founder
For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
Gracious Professionalism is…a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.
With Gracious Professionalism, fierce competition and mutual gain are not separate notions. Gracious professionals learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process.
They avoid treating anyone like losers … Knowledge, competition, and empathy are comfortably blended.
…knowing one has acted with integrity and sensitivity.
Gracious Professionalism
