We can 37 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 3: thank cooks for that. But an engineer inventor did make 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: something we use with ice cream. They did, Yes, the 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: ice cream scoop. It was invented by a clever person 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: named Alfred L. 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Crown. 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 3: Wow, he was trying to solve a problem when he 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: thought of the ice cream scoop. 44 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: Who was his problem? Ice cream always got stuck to 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: the spoon? 46 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Oh? 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: True, billy. Engineers also make machines. 48 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: Machines like this washing machine in the basement. 49 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Yes, But does a. 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: Washing machine solve a problem dirty coos? 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: Oh? 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: A washing machine solves the problem of dirty clothes. 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: A blended, Yes, Engineers also make blenders so people can 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: have smoothies. 55 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: Engineers make some wonderful things. 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: Hi, everyone, are you talking about engineers, Hi, Lisa, Yes, 57 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: we are because I know exactly what engineers do. They 58 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 3: make bridges, big beautiful bridges over water. 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: But a bridge, it's a machine. 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: Well, engineers don't just make machines. They make many other 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: things too. Let's think about bridges, lingo kids, listeners, can 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: you remember any times you have crossed a bridge? 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: I remember a bridge I got to walk over. It 64 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: had a big riffer underneath. 65 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: That's right. 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: A lot of bridges have rivers underneath them. So what 67 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: problem do you think a bridge solves? I know the 68 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: problem is how to get across the water? 69 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 2: Yep, and a bridge is a great solution. Thank you engineers. 70 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: How do they do it? How do the engineers now? 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: What to think of? 72 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 3: Engineers practice some things When they're solving a problem. They 73 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: ask questions and then try out an idea. Then they 74 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: work to make it even better. Ask questions, try out 75 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: an idea, then try to make it better. 76 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: Sounds fun? Yes, it is fun. 77 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: I guess what. 78 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: Anyone can be an engineer? 79 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: Really? 80 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: Yes, let's be engineers right now. 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: How about if everyone thinks of a problem, then will 82 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: engineer solutions? 83 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 84 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: First, everyone think of a problem, then think of a 85 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: solution to try. I know my problem is I want 86 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: to hold hot chocolate while. 87 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: Also jumping running down and I want to spell. What will 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: you engineer a. 89 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: Sippy cup for hot drinks? 90 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 91 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Great? Idea. I'm going to engineer paint crushes the cows. 92 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: The cows don't have hands. 93 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: That's interesting, cowie, how will the cows hold the paint crushes. 94 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: With their mouths? 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: Oh, you're going to design paint brushes so cows can 96 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: paint with their mouths. 97 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Yepo. 98 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: Philly wants to make a voice changer for birds. 99 00:05:50,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: He says, he will now show us how it works. 100 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: That's so fun it is, and it reminds me of 101 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: someone we spoke to on our podcast growing up. He 102 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 3: is a wonderful inventor and engineer named Alex Deans. Alex 103 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: started inventing things when he was nine years old, and 104 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: by thirteen he invented something called the IAID to help 105 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: blind people navigate. Let's listen to a sneak peak of 106 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: what Alex shared. 107 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 5: When I was nine years old, I started in science 108 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 5: Paris in my local town in Windsor of Canada. And 109 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 5: the first thing I did was I took starch from 110 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 5: potatoes and I extracted it from the potatoes and I 111 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 5: made a new type of plastic to full of classic bags. 112 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 5: So that was my first big type of invention that 113 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 5: I did. And then from there I started creating other 114 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 5: new things. 115 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: Oh, I am definitely going to listen to that. 116 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Exciting Yeah, I. 117 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: Didn't know engineers made big things and little things. 118 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: They make bridges, but also comes and pave brushes and 119 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: all you. 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Kinds of plastic. 121 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: Yes, Billy and toy cars. 122 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: Mister mighty car, you are a work of engineering engineers. 123 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 3: Lingo Kids listeners, thank you for exploring engineering with us. 124 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: We learn some big, small, and silly things that engineers create. 125 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: Next time you're trying to solve a problem, think like 126 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 3: an engineer, ask questions, try out an idea, and then 127 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: work to make it even better. 128 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: Good luck. 129 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: If you are ready for interactive play learning time, explore 130 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: our Lingo Kids app. It offers fun and educational songs 131 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: and games to help kids ages two and older learn 132 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: and develop important skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, 133 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: and creativity.
