Engineering Solutions for Juniper's Raft

The video begins with plans for a summer vacation at the lake, but a problem arises when Squeaks' toy boat goes missing. The group decides to solve the problem by engineering a new raft for Juniper. They gather information from friends, considering safety and functionality, and plan to design a raft using available materials. The video emphasizes the engineering process of identifying problems, gathering information, and creating solutions.
