Imagine It Project

If you want young people to think of science and engineering as creative, exciting, meaningful, even hip activities, show them this film. Actually "Imagine It" is more like an animated Lego set than it is a film. It's composed of a rich variety of segments than can be assembled in a variety of ways for different audiences.

Filmmakers/ringmasters Richard Tavener and Rudy Poe stopped by the National Academy of Sciences today to preview one version of the film that was cut to appeal to leaders in business education, and government. It includes commentary from NAE president Chuck Vest, astronaut Sally Ride, Segway inventor Dean Kamen, the founders of the Blue Men performance group, and a host of other inspiring leaders as well as a charming and impressive group of young people. It also includes some rousing material on Kamen's FIRST competition for high school robot builders.
