This landmark documentary explores the extent to which young people around the world are being failed by an education system created at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

First I'd like recommend these interviews as an interlude, for your robotics club especially the one with Larry Rosenstock from High Tech High: http://www.mobilelearninginstitute.org/21stcenturyeducation/
This has an angry little trailer, but seems to more about Amerian campus politics than educational reform: http://indoctrinate-u.com/intro/
"We are the people we've been waiting for" has a focus on education reform in Great Britain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRi8_fXz1D8 and http://youtube.com/WeAreThePeopleMovie
Plus there's a two or three kickstarter projects on documentaries in education. Hope this helps!
I will dig around and try to find a few more. The one's Jon Bischke posted sound good as well. Take care!
