Adam Ward challenges special guest Hayden Carroll (host of SoulPancake’s Kid Congress) to a “Tell and Show.” Adam will describe to Hayden how to make a LEGO catapult, but Hayden has no idea what she’s about to build and cannot see what Adam is doing. Will she successfully build the LEGO catapult?

– Any questions, anybody you wanna give a shout out to?
00:05
– I think we should just get right into the build.
00:07
– Let’s just get into the build, okay.
00:12
– Friends, welcome back to Brick X Brick.
00:13
I’m your host, Adam Ward.
00:15
And today we have another great challenge.
00:19
Now as a lover of Lego, and as a teacher of Lego,
00:23
I’ve taught people through the show,
00:24
I’ve taught people in real life,
00:26
and I’ve taught people over video chat.
00:29
And I’ve taught people of all ages, old people,
00:32
young people, people who I don’t know how old they are.
00:35
Maybe it’s a Benjamin Button situation.
00:37
Maybe they’re really young and they look really old.
00:39
Maybe they’re really old and they’re brand spanking new.
00:42
But today I’m putting my nine-year-old friend Hayden
00:46
to the ultimate test with a super challenging
00:49
challenge of challenges.
00:53
It’ll be a challenge.
00:55
Hayden, what’s up?
00:56
Thank you so much for coming to hang out.
00:59
Thank you for saying yes to building.
01:00
How are you doing today?
01:02
– Good, awesome.
01:05
– Nice.
01:06
When, Hayden, did you last build with Lego?
01:09
– So we had a box full of Legos,
01:14
and they were like a Cinderella set.
01:17
– Oh fun.
01:17
– [Hayden] And I think it was like last month or something.
01:19
– Well today, we’re gonna be building a magical thing,
01:24
but you’re not gonna know what it is.
01:25
I know what it is.
01:27
But we’re going to try, try, try, try
01:29
to see if you can make one of these builds.
01:34
I’m gonna dump my pieces out.
01:36
Okay.
01:37
Any ideas, any guesses just by looking at these pieces?
01:42
Any guesses as to what maybe we’re building?
01:44
– Uh.
01:46
Car ’cause of the little blue window things.
01:51
– Blue, okay. – And I think,
01:53
I don’t know if this is true,
01:54
but there’s a lot of lime green
01:56
and so maybe it’s an olive car.
02:01
– I’m not gonna tell you if that’s
02:02
what we’re building or not, but I love the idea.
02:04
Okay, we’re gonna put 30 minutes on the clock.
02:06
I’m gonna stop talking about non-building stuff,
02:09
and we are gonna start this adventure.
02:14
The first section we’re gonna do is called, is the base.
02:17
I want you to find the big white square.
02:20
And then we’ve got two orange two-by-sixes.
02:26
And we’re gonna put these orange pieces
02:27
on top of our white six-by-six.
02:32
– Done.
02:33
– Oh, you did it already?
02:34
Okay, cool.
02:35
The next thing we’re gonna do is we are gonna take
02:38
those cool electric blue slopes.
02:42
So these pieces are gonna go on top of our orange plates.
02:47
– [Hayden] Four on the orange thing?
02:50
– Yup, four on one of the orange,
02:52
and four on the other orange.
02:53
So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna grab
02:55
our two orange bricks and those are gonna go
02:59
directly on top of your two blue sides.
03:05
– Are we making like a postal service place ’cause…
03:09
– Oh, that’s a good guess.
03:12
We’re not making that.
03:13
But there is like, I don’t wanna give too much away,
03:16
but there is something about sending,
03:19
or delivering, or moving something,
03:21
that definitely is involved with this build.
03:24
We’re gonna do the next section.
03:26
And the next section is also
03:28
gonna start with a white plate.
03:31
– Woo!
03:32
I dropped it.
03:36
Okay.
03:38
– Our gray two by two tile is gonna go on one side,
03:42
all the way on the end.
03:43
Now we’re gonna grab our lime green tile
03:46
and that’s gonna go right next to our orange square.
03:51
– [Hayden] Okay.
03:52
Wait, I didn’t.
03:54
Okay, there.
03:56
– Okay, 10 minutes.
03:57
We got, time to boogie, we’re already boogieing.
03:59
So we’ve got just a handful of steps left, doing great.
04:05
So here’s what we’re gonna do, Hayden.
04:07
We’ve got gray plates.
04:09
The two closed dots are gonna go on the,
04:14
in the middle of those lime green plates,
04:18
the ones we just put on.
04:21
– [Hayden] Okay.
04:22
– So with these four blue pieces and four white pieces,
04:26
we go all the way around to kinda make like
04:29
a little, almost like a rectangular spoon.
04:34
– Okay, let me do this quickly.
04:36
Okay.
04:38
It’s good.
04:41
– Okay, cool.
04:41
So now we’re gonna use our white technic bricks.
04:45
And they have two holes all the way through them.
04:48
And you want the holes to be, you can still,
04:51
I want you to be able to look through this piece.
04:53
So you could hold it up to your face and look through.
04:56
I won’t look, I’ll close my eyes.
04:57
Can you hold it up
04:58
and you can look through the white pieces?
05:02
From forever ago, we have our base.
05:05
And if we put our base in front of us,
05:08
the yellow squares will line up with the bottom
05:12
of the four dots on each of our white squares.
05:15
Now, do you have an idea of what you have created?
05:22
– Actually?
05:23
Is it like a catapult?
05:25
– Yes, it is exactly like a catapult!
05:28
– Will you pick up your build
05:30
now that you know it’s a catapult?
05:32
Whoa!
05:34
– It’s actually really cool, I really like it.
05:36
– It looks so good.
05:38
Here’s mine. – Wow!
05:40
– Hayden, amazing build.
05:42
You’ve got your catapult.
05:44
I call these things snackapults.
05:46
So we have one minute to each go find a snack
05:49
that we can try to launch with our catapults.
05:51
Are you ready?
05:53
Okay, go, find your snack.
05:54
You have one minute.
05:55
Go find a yummy snack.
05:59
– Do you know how to do it? – Yes.
06:05
– All right, Hayden, it looks like you found a yummy snack.
06:07
What’d you find?
06:09
– Popcorn!
06:10
– Oh wonderful.
06:12
One of the best snacks to launch.
06:15
I’ve got some little cheese puffs.
06:17
I have some fish.
06:18
Are you ready to try to launch some snacks?
06:21
– Uh-huh.
06:22
All right, I’m gonna try to launch it at you, wait.
06:27
Oops.
06:33
– I caught one!
06:34
– Really?
06:35
Wait, let me try.
06:39
– I caught it!
06:41
– Yay!
06:43
– I love building things that we can share
06:45
with our friends and family.
06:46
Who are you gonna launch a snack to?
06:48
– I think that my sister will be really happy
06:51
that like that I actually built it,
06:54
and she can launch it into her mouth sort of.
06:58
– Hayden, you did so great.
07:00
This is a super challenging build,
07:01
and you totally, totally crushed it.
07:04
It was so much fun building with you.
07:05
Thank you, thank you, thank you
07:07
for being a part of this.
07:09
– You’re welcome.
07:10
– Well friends, that was so much fun.
07:12
Hayden did amazing.
07:14
Sure, her catapult is a little bit different
07:16
than my catapult, but it’s not about
07:18
building the exact same thing.
07:20
It’s just about building something new
07:21
and something you can share with your friends.
07:24
So check out Brick X Brick
07:26
if you want to make your very own catapult.
07:29
And feed yourself some snacks.
07:32
I know I will.
07:35
Snackapult.
07:36
Coming, gotcha.
07:41
I almost got two, but I got zero.
07:45
My dog’s eating in the background.
07:51
– I can’t look at somebody eat donuts and not want one.
07:56
– Same here.
