The Innovators: Designing the Future
Rice University professor and researcher Naomi Halas, Ph.DThis program examines the power of innovation to transform lives by spotlighting exciting new breakthroughs in science and technology. The program, hosted by author and Emmy-winning executive producer Helene Lerner, introduces three visionary engineers tackling the challenges of modern American life - from using robots to studying the effects of global warming, to employing nanotechnology in the treatment of cancer, to designing cutting-edge consumer products. The documentary also explores why the United States produces fewer scientists and engineers than other industrialized nations, and profiles a high school program striving to make math and science "cool" again.
