- [Both] One, two, three!
(crashes)
Oh!
- Friends, welcome back to Brick by Brick,
I'm your host, Adam Ward.
And we have an amazing episode today.
Lego origami cranes.
Yeah, Lego origami, heard of it?
Now you have.
We're making a thousand.
We are setting a new world record.
We've got Play Well Technologies here.
We're gonna build so many Lego origami cranes.
It's time to go.
- Let's break the world record!
(upbeat music)
- Friends, today we are making the Lego origami cranes.
Just like paper origami, this crane also folds.
So the Lego origami crane has six main parts.
It's got a little crane head,
it's got a crane neck, a tail, two symmetrical wings.
And, of course, to hold it all together, the crane body.
Now, the crane body is built on a two by four plate,
and then we've got some bars in the front and back.
Some clips on the sides, for us to add our wings.
Our tail to the back, our neck to the front.
And then at the end of the neck, of course, our head.
It's only 35 pieces.
So odds are, you can find these pieces
inside your Lego collection.
Happy building.
(upbeat music)
And what's up, builders?
How's it going, ya'll?
- [Child] Good.
- We got wings, we got bodies, we got heads,
we've got necks, we've got tails.
What's your favorite part to build?
- Probably the wings.
- Probably the wings?
How about you, what was your favorite part?
- I think the head and the neck.
- [Adam] The head and the neck?
The way they together?
- [Child] The wings!
- We need more wings, and bodies?
We need more wings and bodies!
- [Child] Let go!
(upbeat music)
- It has been so awesome to work with Play Well.
What else does Play Well do?
- Yeah, so basically Play Well has been around 20 years.
And we grow nerds for a living.
(Adam laughs)
Literally, is what we do, we ...
- [Adam] Nerd farm.
- Yes, we teach kids engineering through Lego.
And it was started by a bunch of engineers,
with the idea of like,
"How do we get kids excited about engineering?"
So we brought like 20,000 pieces of Lego
and just nerded out.
We started with seven people,
now there's like 400-500 of us.
We teach about 100,000 kids a year
around the country.
- That's a lot of kids!
- And then in addition to that,
we started doing all these huge builds like this.
So we've built cities out of Legos,
we've broken records out of Legos.
We're trying to find as many opportunities
to bring people together through play.
- Same!
- And that's the ...
- The same, the same!
- That's why we get along!
- So what's cool about these
is they are actually fractals.
And what we showed kids how to do,
is you take six of these and you add 'em up,
and it makes a diamond like this.
And then you make six of these,
it makes a diamond like this.
And you make six of these, and it makes something like that.
A part of me wants to throw this up in the air.
- And just see what happens?
- And just see what happens.
Do you want to?
Can we do that?
- [Both] One, two, three!
(crashes)
Oh!
- Pinata!
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, on top of each other.
From here to here.
Is that the halfway mark between there and there?
(upbeat music)
Friends, this is Liam.
He is one of our crane MVPs today.
Liam, how many cranes do you think you built?
- [Liam] Like over a hundred.
- [Adam] Over a hundred?
You feel good?
- Yeah.
- You feel inspired?
You feel excited about peace?
Me too.
A hundred cranes!
A hundred and one, a hundred and two,
the crane count just keeps rising.
- [Camera Guy] Up into the sky.
(Adam laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Raise your hand, if you've made
already at least one crane.
Who has made more than 10 cranes?
Oh my goodness, you are all such rock stars.
We already have almost 500 cranes hanging.
We have at least another hundred on the tables.
And guess what, friends?
We have a bunch more to make.
Who's having fun, and can make a louder
amount of noise than that amount of noise?
(cheering)
(Adam laughs) Oh, good.
- We've brought out, about, I think,
80,000 pieces of Lego for you today.
This will be breaking the record
for the world's most peace cranes ever made.
We have only 60 minutes left to make almost 400 cranes.
Are you ready?
(cheering)
Set, get going, let's go!
- Do it, are you ready?
- Let's go!
(upbeat music)
- Friends, I have an announcement to make.
We made over 1,000 Lego cranes!
(cheering)
- [Everyone] One, two, three, Legos!
- [Child] Hi five!
- For hundreds of years,
people have been folding origami cranes,
as a message of peace.
And today, over 200 of us came together
and made over 1,000 Lego origami cranes,
setting a new world record.
No big deal.
And to see people collaborate, and do teamwork,
and all the creativity, it was truly a beautiful thing.
I hope you enjoyed watching.
A huge thanks to Play Well Technologies,
for all their amazing energy and support.
