Think Like an Engineer: Let's Design a Solution! | SciShow Kids

The video tutorial explores a problem-solving scenario where a group of friends needs to build a raft for Juniper to join them on a lake vacation. They adopt an engineering approach, discussing and evaluating various materials to determine which ones float. Different raft designs are proposed, each addressing specific needs like safety and size. The session concludes with plans to build and test the designs to find the best solution.
