Dr. Mark Dean should be an inspiration to all African American children who love computers. He could transform the enthusiasm from online games to creating apps that could be used world-wide. This was done by a Spelman student currently on the Spelman Robotics team. Last year, the co-capitan, Jonecia Keels, created an iPhone app, iDex, for gamers of the Pokemon game franchise. The app gets downloaded about 1,500 times a day and she probably makes money off of it.
Dr. Dean graduated later in life with a PhD from Stanford. He is the first African American fellow of IBM; he is one of 50 that are elected by the company. He has also been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for creating a system that allows PCs to be used by everyone in their home. Don't forget to tell you children about Dr. Dean, a modern day history maker.
