1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: The Lingo Kids' friends have worked up a sweat on

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: a play structure.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Came out, I'm thirsty. I'm going to the water fountain.

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: I have a juice box.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: I brought my water bottle.

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Billy doesn't have a way to drink water. Maybe our

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids friends can use their STEM skills to solve

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: the problem. Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids,

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: where we discover fascinating facts about the world around us

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: and the fun of play learning. Lingo Kids listeners, do

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: you want to help Billy quench his thirst? Yeah, Lingo

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Kids listeners will be using gum drops and toothpicks to

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: create a fun engineering design. Feel free to build with

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: us and send us the photo of what you came

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: up with. You can find our email address in the

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: description to this episode. Remember it's important to get an

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: adult's help when using pointy objects, and if you don't

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: have gum drops, you can use marshmallows, cheese cubes.

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Or styrofoam peanuts. Billy, we can make you a wire

20
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: station so you.

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 3: Can stay and play.

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: Great idea.

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: It's a perfect occasion to use your STEM skills to

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: solve this problem. Remember STEM stands for science technology, engineering,

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: and math.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Everywhere you look there are.

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Man made objects designed to make life better, things like

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: juice boxes, water bottles, and play structures.

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Does man made mean only men make these things?

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Oh? No? Man made isn't quite right, is it, Elliot?

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: We know women are scientists, engineers and mathematicians too.

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: However, it wasn't always like this. In the old days, only.

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Men were hired for most STEM jobs. Some believed women

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: weren't smart enough.

35
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: But girls are just as smart as boys.

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Everyone can be whatever they want to be.

37
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: I totally agree. And now it's different. More and more

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: girls not only can choose, but are encouraged to study science, technology,

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: engineering or math. Well, we're all ready for a STEM

40
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: challenge today.

41
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: Right right?

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Great?

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: I brought some fun supplies, twelve toothpicks, twelve gum drops,

44
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: gum jobs you not to eat, Elliott, Oh, and a

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: pair of scissors.

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: I'll be in charge of those.

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: Do we need a calculator?

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: We can use our brains for any calculations.

49
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: You know. Engineers used to do math on paper.

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: In fact, behind many big engineering products were women. Yes,

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: women hired as human computers to solve big mouth problems

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: without calculators. So bridges, buildings, rockets, and more could be built.

53
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: If they could do it, we can do.

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: It, Billy, where should your water station go? Good idea, Billy,

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: putting it in the shade will keep the water cool.

56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: Sounds like you're ready to begin.

57
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: Maybe we should each drawn idea first.

58
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: Then we can put our ideas together.

59
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: That's called collaboration, working together for the same goal. It's

60
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: an important part of stem work.

61
00:03:44,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: Collaboration. Okay, let's draw ready, ready, almost done? Okay, I

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: think I'm done.

63
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: Great.

64
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Now the next step is to discuss each design and

65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: come up with a final version. Remember, the water station

66
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: needs to stand on its own under the tree.

67
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: Gut it.

68
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: It discussed.

69
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: To our design is ready?

70
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Let the building begin. Wow, that was fast.

71
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: That wasn't so hard and we didn't need a calculator.

72
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Let's taste it.

73
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: Put it under that tree.

74
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: It stands up nicely. We have just one problem. What's that.

75
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: Water?

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: How does hold water? I have an idea. We can

77
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: use my juice box.

78
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: If we cut the box in half.

79
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: If it's just right, great problem solving, Cowie, I'll do

80
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: the cutting.

81
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: There. Now, we'll place it in the stand. I can

82
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: pour some water from my water.

83
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: Bottle Billy, give it a try.

84
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: Hooray. I want to do more STEM challenges, so do.

85
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: I you totally? Can? You can join the Stemmetz. What's that?

86
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: It's a real.

87
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: Club for girls around the world who are interested in STEM.

88
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: It was started by doctor Anne Marie, a mathadon, a

89
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: math and computer science genius.

90
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: Paste and mets. Want to do some calculations? Sure, we

91
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: used eight of the twelve gum traps? So how many

92
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: gum drops are left?

93
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: Nine?

94
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: Ten, eleven, twelve.

95
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: Four?

96
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: Sweet Wow, you solved Billy's thirst problem and worked in

97
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 1: a gum drop treat for each of you who Lingo

98
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Kids listeners, we had a great time today using simple

99
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: materials to build like engineers. We learned a little about

100
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the STEM design process, create ideas, collaborate, build, test, and

101
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: even do some calculations. Lingo Kids listeners, can you build

102
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: something with gum drops and toothpicks? You can ask a

103
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: grown up to help take some pictures and send them

104
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: to us so we can share on our social media.

105
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,600
