Pittsburgh: Steel to Science

Once the “Steel City,” Pittsburgh thrived on industry through the 20th century—until the mills closed and jobs vanished. This documentary traces the city’s bold reinvention into a center for science, tech, and education. With insights from leaders and locals, it highlights how universities and startups fueled innovation in robotics, AI, and biotech.
