Two years after the devastating Hurricanes Irma and Maria altered the history of Puerto Rico, a team of students have produced a new 4-minute video showcasing their desired changes to public education. The young filmmakers made the 4-minute video through a course on digital storytelling offered at their school, Escuela Especializada Francisco Manrique Cabrera. Located 30 minutes from the capital of San Juan, Escuela Esp. FMC is on a quest to become the first public school in the United States & Territories to implement Design Thinking at all levels of programming.
