Synopsis: "Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club. With no experience, 800 bucks, used car parts and a dream, this rag tag team goes up against the country's reigning robotics champion, MIT."
This is based on a true story that was first popularized in this 2004 Wired article: La Vida Robot
The movie prompted Wired to revisit that story numerous times:

http://www.wired.com/2015/01/spare-parts-teachers/
What those kids are doing today:

(Long story short, none of those former kids who as high schoolers beat much better funded Ivy League universities with full engineering departments are working in engineering and only Oscar Vasquez ever obtained an engineering degree.)
