Introduction:
The movie Spare Parts is an American film from 2015.
 
The story:
Four undocumented Mexican American students, two great teachers, one robot-building contest…and a major motion picture.
In 2004, four Latino teenagers arrived at the Marine Advanced Technology Education Robotics Competition at the University of California, Santa Barbara. They were born in Mexico but raised in Phoenix, Arizona, where they attended an underfunded public high school. No one had ever suggested to Oscar, Cristian, Luis, or Lorenzo that they might amount to much.
And build a robot they did. Their robot wasn’t pretty, especially compared to those of the competition. They were going up against some of the best collegiate engineers in the country, including a team from MIT backed by a $10,000 grant from ExxonMobil. The Phoenix teenagers had scraped together less than $1,000 and built their robot out of scavenged parts. This was never a level competition – and yet, against all odds… they won!
(taken and adapted from Wikipedia entry on this film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spare_Parts_(2015_film))
 
Instructions:
After watching the movie Spare Parts you will need to meet as a group to discuss the questions below. Then, using the relevant theory from your books together with your personal experience, answer the questions as fully as possible by referring to specific scenes from the movie. Each answer should be of minimum 200 words. You will have to answer a total of 5 questions and each member should be personally responsible for one of the answers. However, you will all need to approve, revise and edit the work together.
 
 
 
Please answer all questions from 1 – 4. Then answer 1 question from 5 and 6. (You should answer a total of 5 questions)
 
 
1. There are several instances in Spare Parts when the boys failed to fulfill their duties, such as when facing the difficulties building the robot, and when the meetings fell into chaos almost breaking up the group. Consider the benefits and drawbacks of discipline and incentives that their teacher used on them (Piscitelli Chapter 4).
 
2. Working on the robotics competition project has forced the students to prioritize in their personal and academic life. Explain how they set their priorities and what effect it had on their lives. (Piscitelli Chapter 3).
 
3. Discuss the communication among the boys in the robotics club based on Covey’s model.

 
 
 
4. How did the students’ accepting responsibilities lead to a success at the competition? How could the application of Covey’s Proactive Model prevent the problems?
 

 
 
 
5. Rosalynn Carter said that, “A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don‘t necessarily want to go, but ought to be”. If you were the students’ mentor, how would you use Covey’s Time Management Matrix to organize their group activities?
 

 
 
 
 
6. Considering Covey’s Force Field Analysis, discuss the way the restraining and driving forces operate inside the robotics section and how they affect the group dynamics among the students.
