The Big Idea Docuseries

The Big Idea features three innovators and their stories as they explore groundbreaking solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. These brilliant and bold thought leaders are united by their desire to use technology, science, and engineering to create radical, systemic change. From a solution to keep vaccine temperatures stable in remote places, to antiracist technology aimed at reducing the Black maternal mortality rates, to hands-on robot-building kits for Indigenous youth, these ideas are meant to shake up the status quo and ultimately, change the world. Join Solve at SOCAP in viewing a featured episode from the series, Indigenous Robotics, followed by a Q&A with the film’s star, Danielle Boyer, and MIT Solve Director of Strategic Partnerships, Sara Monteabaro.
