You Can Do It



Watch Fast Times at West Philly High on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

This video was long and paced at a "PBS" tempo, but I thought it was important to show my students at the end of the year.

A group of high school students from Philadelphia built two hybird cars in order to compete in an international contest to win $10M.  The team goes on the Today Show and 60 Minutes, gets a visit from the mayor and get mentioned by the president.  The video is a great example of not letting excuses get in the way of your dreams.  That's a lesson that even someone out of college can heed.
