Funny you should ask...When I came home from work last night, my sons were
glued to the program. First I'd ever heard of it. British-based, with very
innovative uses for junk. (You know, "one man's trash..."). It appears that 2
groups of participants create, engineer and build stuff out of junk. The two
groups then compete with each other using their "creations". Seems like it
might be appropriate for your D and I Dept although I haven't watched an
entire episode. ~ Jan Derks.
