"A "How it's made" video showing how they make something that makes other things. Specifically, a laser cutting machine. The coolest thing we didn't know before seeing the video is that a laser beam must be the appropriate shape in order to cut optimally, just like a router bit or a kitchen knife designed for a specific task.

"Last Sunday, I taught six kids of ages 5 to 7 how to program. "In what programming language?" you may ask. Well…I didn't use a programming language, at least none that you know of. In fact, I didn't even use a computer. Instead, I devised a game called "How To Train Your Robot". Before I explain how the game works, let me tell my motivation."
