Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Dr. Leward Wonder, a Deaf engineer, spent many years running a successful research and development lab when he decided to leave the corporate world and set up a small inventor's lab where he can work on the kind of fun projects he enjoys, as well as creating a positive Christian work environment. He finds a location in Indiana and then gathers a team of highly creative Deaf friends who share his passion for invention, yet don't quite fit into the traditional corporate structure. Together, this sometimes goofy band of misfits create amazing inventions-and in the process, they learn more about God and each other.
