- Any questions, anybody you wanna give a shout out to?
- I think we should just get right into the build.
- Let's just get into the build, okay.
- Friends, welcome back to Brick X Brick.
I'm your host, Adam Ward.
And today we have another great challenge.
Now as a lover of Lego, and as a teacher of Lego,
I've taught people through the show,
I've taught people in real life,
and I've taught people over video chat.
And I've taught people of all ages, old people,
young people, people who I don't know how old they are.
Maybe it's a Benjamin Button situation.
Maybe they're really young and they look really old.
Maybe they're really old and they're brand spanking new.
But today I'm putting my nine-year-old friend Hayden
to the ultimate test with a super challenging
challenge of challenges.
It'll be a challenge.
Hayden, what's up?
Thank you so much for coming to hang out.
Thank you for saying yes to building.
How are you doing today?
- Good, awesome.
- Nice.
When, Hayden, did you last build with Lego?
- So we had a box full of Legos,
and they were like a Cinderella set.
- Oh fun.
- [Hayden] And I think it was like last month or something.
- Well today, we're gonna be building a magical thing,
but you're not gonna know what it is.
I know what it is.
But we're going to try, try, try, try
to see if you can make one of these builds.
I'm gonna dump my pieces out.
Okay.
Any ideas, any guesses just by looking at these pieces?
Any guesses as to what maybe we're building?
- Uh.
Car 'cause of the little blue window things.
- Blue, okay. - And I think,
I don't know if this is true,
but there's a lot of lime green
and so maybe it's an olive car.
- I'm not gonna tell you if that's
what we're building or not, but I love the idea.
Okay, we're gonna put 30 minutes on the clock.
I'm gonna stop talking about non-building stuff,
and we are gonna start this adventure.
The first section we're gonna do is called, is the base.
I want you to find the big white square.
And then we've got two orange two-by-sixes.
And we're gonna put these orange pieces
on top of our white six-by-six.
- Done.
- Oh, you did it already?
Okay, cool.
The next thing we're gonna do is we are gonna take
those cool electric blue slopes.
So these pieces are gonna go on top of our orange plates.
- [Hayden] Four on the orange thing?
- Yup, four on one of the orange,
and four on the other orange.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab
our two orange bricks and those are gonna go
directly on top of your two blue sides.
- Are we making like a postal service place 'cause...
- Oh, that's a good guess.
We're not making that.
But there is like, I don't wanna give too much away,
but there is something about sending,
or delivering, or moving something,
that definitely is involved with this build.
We're gonna do the next section.
And the next section is also
gonna start with a white plate.
- Woo!
I dropped it.
Okay.
- Our gray two by two tile is gonna go on one side,
all the way on the end.
Now we're gonna grab our lime green tile
and that's gonna go right next to our orange square.
- [Hayden] Okay.
Wait, I didn't.
Okay, there.
- Okay, 10 minutes.
We got, time to boogie, we're already boogieing.
So we've got just a handful of steps left, doing great.
So here's what we're gonna do, Hayden.
We've got gray plates.
The two closed dots are gonna go on the,
in the middle of those lime green plates,
the ones we just put on.
- [Hayden] Okay.
- So with these four blue pieces and four white pieces,
we go all the way around to kinda make like
a little, almost like a rectangular spoon.
- Okay, let me do this quickly.
Okay.
It's good.
- Okay, cool.
So now we're gonna use our white technic bricks.
And they have two holes all the way through them.
And you want the holes to be, you can still,
I want you to be able to look through this piece.
So you could hold it up to your face and look through.
I won't look, I'll close my eyes.
Can you hold it up
and you can look through the white pieces?
From forever ago, we have our base.
And if we put our base in front of us,
the yellow squares will line up with the bottom
of the four dots on each of our white squares.
Now, do you have an idea of what you have created?
- Actually?
Is it like a catapult?
- Yes, it is exactly like a catapult!
- Will you pick up your build
now that you know it's a catapult?
Whoa!
- It's actually really cool, I really like it.
- It looks so good.
Here's mine. - Wow!
- Hayden, amazing build.
You've got your catapult.
I call these things snackapults.
So we have one minute to each go find a snack
that we can try to launch with our catapults.
Are you ready?
Okay, go, find your snack.
You have one minute.
Go find a yummy snack.
- Do you know how to do it? - Yes.
- All right, Hayden, it looks like you found a yummy snack.
What'd you find?
- Popcorn!
- Oh wonderful.
One of the best snacks to launch.
I've got some little cheese puffs.
I have some fish.
Are you ready to try to launch some snacks?
- Uh-huh.
All right, I'm gonna try to launch it at you, wait.
Oops.
- I caught one!
- Really?
Wait, let me try.
- I caught it!
- Yay!
- I love building things that we can share
with our friends and family.
Who are you gonna launch a snack to?
- I think that my sister will be really happy
that like that I actually built it,
and she can launch it into her mouth sort of.
- Hayden, you did so great.
This is a super challenging build,
and you totally, totally crushed it.
It was so much fun building with you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
for being a part of this.
- You're welcome.
- Well friends, that was so much fun.
Hayden did amazing.
Sure, her catapult is a little bit different
than my catapult, but it's not about
building the exact same thing.
It's just about building something new
and something you can share with your friends.
So check out Brick X Brick
if you want to make your very own catapult.
And feed yourself some snacks.
I know I will.
Snackapult.
Coming, gotcha.
I almost got two, but I got zero.
My dog's eating in the background.
- I can't look at somebody eat donuts and not want one.
- Same here.
