This 2011 film by Emmy Award-winning producer Lawrence Klein tackles the huge issue of motivating students to achieve mastery in the science, engineering, and technology areas most likely to prepare them for productive, high-paying jobs. Five Massachusetts high school teachers, inspire their students by bringing engineering design challenges into STEM curricula at five very different public schools -- an urban arts academy, a regional voc-tech institute, a special-needs school, a factory-town high school, and a typical suburban "no-shops" high school. MOS executive producer Carol Lynn Alpert developed the film in collaboration with the Museum's Educator Resource Center, the National Center for Technological Literacy, Boston Public Schools and Northeastern University, with support from the National Science Foundation (DRL-0833636).
