I love the passion in the kid. This is exactly what you want to get from a kid. Education should be more focussed on making kids do what they are passionate about instead of only looking at grades which causes overstress
awwww, the way that kid is bouncing from spot to spot. so excited and full of joy with glee in a wonderful hands on intelligent family fun filled moment:)! it reminds me of my childhood, before the weight of the world crushed my spirit.
Patrick Jeanquart Or perhaps the dad is simply allowing the kid to explore and learn versus taking over the project. Which makes the dad even smarter for understanding the need to let the kid walk his own path.
Stick boy: yes! A video games called The Adventures of Stick Boy would be great. Quick, Stick Boy, hurry up and build a bridge to cross the Amazon before the hungry Gorillas get you!
This is exactly what teaching the next generation looks like. Sit back, guide them..shut up unless asked for guidance and let them grow and make mistakes. Be there for them and be prepared with the knowledge they may need
i wish i had a father like that or even just a mentor...the world needs a way to give kids everywhere a mentor. i wish tax money went to funding a new job that provides a one on one mentor for kids everywhere
Building a garden bridge in five minutes is a proper job indeed. His knowledge, understanding and youthful enthusiasm is certainly a miracle. Well done, Lad.
Was not aware Leonardo designed one of these as well. Not surprised though. I know they had a similar one technique in China. Probably developed independently of each other considering the time frames. Good work on it.
I don't know about the support only, given the opportunity this is portable and could be worked into a bridge. With a little more effort (of sorts) and with a flat walking surface. Think of all the goods and troops that could use this. Or farmers needing a shorter route to the market but a permanent bridge would be taxed.
I used to teach high school science. The gifted kids like your son were great to work with. Like him, they talk things thru to themselves. I miss interacting with these students. They always came up with fresh and creative ways to solve problems. You seem like a good dad. Keep encouraging him. I used to tell the less bright kids not to pick on the smart kids because one day the smart kids will be their boss!
@4:41: Thinks to self, "hmmm, that might be kind of dangerous." Says: "here! you go first!" LOL... just joshin' ya. That looks like a lot of good clean backyard fun, what a great to share learning about physics and engineering with your kid!
Good to watch. Practical lesson, proof of theory, pride in result. Next, lash each conjunction, make it strong and long lasting. Then find something that needs bridging. Then make a footway. Then really enjoy it.
