Research Outline

TV Shows - Makers, Problem Solvers, and Innovators

Goals

To continue filling in the attached spreadsheet and find additional television shows that deal with makers, problem solvers, and innovators. For each show, provide 1) its name, 2) its network, 3) its country of origin, and 4) a brief 1-2 sentence description. Include as many non-english-speaking programs as possible. Specifically try to find shows in Spanish, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and/or Arabic. In particular, try to find shows that focus on disabilities, the environment, or social impact. Do not include cooking shows or programs about general innovation. DIY, makers, and open-source culture shows are acceptable. Geographic scope is global. In addition, continue filling in the blank spaces in the spreadsheet with the info provided here.
