Behind every invention is a fascinating story. Britt Wray wants to meet inventors to find out what inspires them and what makes them tick. She meets a 15-year-old girl who has created a flashlight powered by the heat of your hand, a quadriplegic doctor who has created a wearable robotic exoskeleton that enables wheelchair bound people to walk upright, and many more.
