The Misunderstood Minds project consists of three elements: The PBS documentary, the companion Web site on PBS Online, and the Developing Minds Multimedia Library.
The Misunderstood Minds website includes profiles of students in the documentary; sections on Attention, Reading, Writing, and Mathematics; and Interactive Activities, called Experience Firsthand which are designed to give visitors a sense of what it may be like for a student struggling with a basic skill.

The mentors offer the students a glimpse of exciting STEM career possibilities.
