Dean Kamen, the guy who invented the Segway and an insulin pump, would
be good.  I saw on late-night television that he was working on a
wheelchair that walks up stairs.

We are working with the Lemelson-MIT Program to create an
invention/design challenge event for high school students in May that
will include a theater presentation of their award-winning inventors.
We are looking for minor to even somewhat major celebrity types who
could energetically get the kids excited about the day and to help
facilitate the inventors' presentations.

We have looked into the MytheBusters but don't think its quite the right
fit. They need to be somewhat connected to design and innovation, fun
and if possible be recognizable and yet, not completely overshadow the 
award winners themselves.   Not asking for too much....

If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations they would be most
appreciated.
Thanks,
Lynn
