Mr. Andy solves a problem
The goal of engineering is to find a creative solution to a problem. Check out how Mr. Andy uses his woodworking skills to engineer a special tool for his kids.
Ava A built a machine to water the plants in her yard.
Kade, Kingston, and DaLilah built a machine to turn on the TV.
AJ and Tait worked together to build a snowman in Minecraft.
"So to build a snowman in Minecraft you need to place just 3 blocks. But we made a flying machine and lots of Redstone wires just to place those 3 blocks. So we overcomplicated it.”Isabella gives her dog a treat in a complicated way.
Atticus built a machine to trap a toy tiger.
Eliza explained all the steps in her Rube Goldberg.
Roan and Wyatt used a tower they had built and turned it into a tea-making machine.
AJ and his brother made a much more elaborate machine in Minecraft.
Isabella built a hook/claw machine arcade game.
Aleerah built a hockey arcade game from a cardboard box.
Ford made two arcade games and played them in his yard.
Here's AJ's third Rube Goldberg-inspired Minecraft video: How to open a door in the most complicated way.
