Engineering Challenge: Designing a Raft for a Worm

SciShow Kids

In this engaging episode of SciShow Kids, host Jessi and her puppet friends—Squeaks the robot mouse, Sam the bat, and Juniper the worm—tackle a real-world engineering challenge. The group is preparing for a lake vacation, but Juniper needs a way to float on the water since Squeaks lost his toy boat. Instead of giving up, they decide to "think like engineers" to design and build a custom raft that meets Juniper's specific needs using everyday materials found around their fort.
