i think the studio is trying to link the future of the industry (pupils) with
real people trying to solve real problems.  (all the while, helping out some of
the less fortunate people in alabama)  if you don't have any background as to
the studio, it is located in one of the poorest counties in alabama and
consequently one of the poorest in the nation.  one of the first projects
involved a family that still had a dirt floor in their run-down shack.  you
can't take someone from that environment and stick them in a cookie cutter
house, even if you were to stick it on the very same lot.  the family wouldn't
be as happy and their needs would be no where near being met.  i think the
studio stands for exactly the opposite of mass production.  its all about
creative ideas for specific needs.
