[Young people are vital to the future of science and engineering.
To motivate students, Wake High School in America bases its curriculum on 14 technical challenges facing humanity.]
[Video footage]
Exterior of Cherry Building, Wake High School
[Text displays over footage]
[Designed by leaders in industry and academia, they are called the Grand Challenges for Engineering and range from access to clean water to developing better medicines.]
[David Schwenker voice over]
“In order to run a school, in order to have science, technology, engineering and math…

…your students have to believein something.”
[David Schwenker voice over]
“We are the melting pot of societyand we can work together to solve the problemshere at Wake STEM Early College.
[Video footage]
Outside, a close up of a student wearing a red mortarboard and red gown chatting to David Schwenker who is wearing a black academic gown. Three graduates in red gowns stand in a line putting on their mortarboards while smiling.
[Zippy Bush voice over]
“Instead of just throwing informationat you, what this school really doesis try to always give ita real-world context.This isn't just something we're doing…
[Video footage]
In a laboratory, Zippy Bush walks towards her reflection in the mirror and smiles. On the mirror is written “I am graduating today!”
Close up ofZippy’sblue gloved hands; one is holding a thin metal implement, in the other hand is a plastic tray. Close up profile of Zippy wearing safety glasses looking down a microscope.
[Zippy Bush interview]
[Caption: Zipporiah (‘Zippy’) Bush, Graduate, Wake High School]
…while we're in school,and once we graduate,we'll forget about it.These are real challenges thatupcoming generations will have to…
[Zippy Bush voice over]
..figure out and try to solve.
Science is everywhere.I think that without it,we really don't have the keys we needto do what we need to do.”
[Video footage]
Close up of writing on mirror which reads “It’s just science”. Pans down to Zippy seated at a microscope, adjusting it.Close up profile of Zippy looking down microscope. Close up as she looks up from the microscope
[Randy Atkins interview]

“The power of this school isthat it's finding…
[Randy Atkins voice over]
…smart people who might have otherwisefallen through the cracks.”
[Video footage]
To the rear, Miguel Castro works the controls of his robotic device which is in the foreground. Mechanical parts of the device move in front of the camera while Miguel looks on.
[Miguel Castro interview]
[Caption: Miguel Castro, Graduate, Wake High School]
“When I was younger,I used to play with computers,or I'd go outside…
[Miguel Castro voice over]
…and I'd look at bugs.
My grandfather bought me a microscope set I loved it. So a group of us had decided to make a robotics team for our own school.
I was very quiet, and I was shy.”
[Video footage]
Miguel and a classmate watch as the robotic device rotates in the foreground. Close up profile of Miguel, followed by another close up of Miguel standing beside a laptop. Close up profile of Miguel’s classmate wearing red t-shirt and talking. The camera pans right to show that he is talking to Miguel.
[David Schwenker voice over]
“I went to Miguel and I said…
[David Schwenker interview]
'We have 27 large businesses…
[David Schwenker voice over]
…sitting at a conference room table. And I said, 'I need you to present to them, because they will give you moneyif you present correctly.'”
[Video footage]
Miguel and his classmate look at the laptop with the robotic device in the foreground. The classmate’s hands are then seen holding some cabling while the robot device moves forwards then backwards.
[David Schwenker interview]
“Miguel came in and presentedlike a rock star.”
[Miguel Castro voice over]
“That was a moment for me where it kind of sank in.That really shows how muchcommunication matters in engineering.”
[Video footage]
Miguel stands by the laptop and watches as the robotic device moves in the foreground. He smiles. Some small rotating cogs are seen in close up with the numbers 55 and 18 on red material either side. A grey football sized ball rolls upwards under the cogs. The camera pans out to show the robotic device in motion. Miguel is seen from behind looking at the robotic device as it shoots the grey ball upwards. The ball is seen in motion from an overhead viewpoint, with Miguel and his classmate looking up from below. Miguel smiles again. A door is seen closing. The number 5518 is taped to the door, and written on the door is ‘Techno Wolves’ and ‘We dominate.’
[David Schwenker voice over]
“That grounding in the GrandChallenges helps us broaden itfrom just the science andthe engineering and the technologyinto all areas of our curriculum.”
[Video footage]
David Schwenker is seen sitting at a laptop in his office.
[David Schwenkervoice over]
“This is high school studentsbeing trained to think likeengineering thinkers in the real world.”
[Video footage]
In slow motion, graduate students in red gowns and mortarboards make their way down the aisle between the two sides of the audience to their seats.David Schwenker takes to the stage and stands at a lectern.
[Richard Marshall interview]
“From a young age,my parents saw the impacttechnology had on our lives,and they knew…
[Richard Marshall voice over]
…it was going to becomea driving force in our future.”
[Video footage]
Richard Marshall stands over an interactive touch screen and taps it. The camera pans up to show Richard’s profile in close up.
[Rick Marshall voice over]
“When he was a baby…
[Rick Marshall interview]
[Caption: Richard’s father]
…we had just started computers.He'd sit in my lap…
[Rick Marshall voice over]
…and sit there for hours.
[Video footage]
Richard and a friend sit on a sofa playing video games
[Adrianne Marshall voice over]
“I am very proud of him…
[Adrianne Marshall interview]
[Caption: Adrianne Marshall, Richard’s mother]
- very proud.”
[Richard Marshall on stage]
“Whether we work to solvethe Grand Challenges or any other challenge…
[Richard Marshall voice over]
…we face,we will be well-equipped to overcomeany adversity in our way.Whether we become engineers,scientists, actors or musicians,we will all have our roles to play.”
[Video footage]
A line of graduate students file out of their seats and between the front and second rows in front of the stage. Zippy is seen walking past. The students’ family and friends cheers and applaud them.
[Text displays over footage]
[In May 2016, Wake High School’s first class graduated.Many will be the first in their family to go to university.]
[Randy Atkins voice over]
Engineers are going to be necessaryto solve the Grand Challengesof Engineering,but they're not going to beable to do it alone.
We need to connect math and science to the humanities, to arts, to social studies, and frame them around the big issues of our time…
[Video footage]
On stage, Zippy is seen shaking hands with David Schwenker and accepting her award. She is followed by Richard Marshall doing the same. Finally Miguel goes on stage to accept his award.
[Randy Atkins in interview]
…around the issues that are going tomatter to the future of these kidsthat are here today.”
[Video footage]
Outside, Miguel, Richard and Zippy raise their mortarboards into the air then throw them upwards.
[Randy Atkins voice over]
“And I think that it's just beginning.This is going to be the beginningof really a revolution in education.”
