"Why the heck do I need to learn this?!" It's the all too familiar cry from the students who don't care about learning and are convinced that Facebook and MTV shows are more important than A's and B's in algebra, chemistry, and calculus. A rally call to math and science teachers and their students, Wake Up Running shows award-winning mechanical engineer Dr. Calvin Mackie, at his feistiest. Mackie espouses a deep faith in the power of science, technology, and math as a path to success. He proves that Everyone Can Be Great when you give math and science everything you've got.
