Engineering Movie Inspires Audiences to Dream Big
Opening Saturday, April 15 in The Dome
Audiences will scale new heights alongside international visionaries, engineers and innovators in the giant screen movie, Dream Big: Engineering Our World, opening at the Science Museum of Virginia on Saturday, April 15.
The MacGillivray Freeman Film production takes moviegoers on a worldwide adventure under the largest screen in Virginia, following the inspirational stories of people who dared to dream – making the impossible possible with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). From a young woman engineer building bridges in undeveloped countries to a high school robotics team succeeding against all odds, Dream Big celebrates human ingenuity and creativity.
“The film reveals that engineering has at its core far more than math and science; it is just as much about getting creative, about helping people and even carving out our human destiny,” explains Shaun MacGillivray, Producer of Dream Big and Managing Director of MacGillivray Freeman Films.
From the Great Wall of China and the world’s tallest buildings, to underwater robots, solar cars and sustainable cities, Dream Big reveals the heart that drives engineers to create better lives for people around the world. Audiences will discover how today’s engineers are shaping our tomorrow and see innovation brought to life in the most unlikely places on this inspirational journey.
