This documentary has an emphasis on STEM education\, hands-on exp erience\, a "\;makers"\; mentality to solving problems and using creativity in all aspects of life. \;\n \;\nDirector Greg Whitele y (Mitt\, 2014 Sundance Film Festival) locates the source of the problem not in the economy but in our educational system\, which was developed at the dawn of the Industrial Age to train obedient workers.
