00:09	Hey there . Engineer buddies . I just want to
00:11	thank you so much for helping out in the last
00:14	episode . I needed to get my phone out of
00:16	the storm drain and together we designed a solution .
00:18	Our robot was just one of many possible solutions and
00:22	maybe you had an even better idea at home if
00:24	you did , please send it my way . I'd
00:26	love to check it out . But I've got a
00:28	whole new challenge for you . Have you ever just
00:30	wanted some space to yourself ? A place to relax
00:32	, do your own thing . Eat nutella straight off
00:34	your fingers and burp with abandoned . Yeah , I
00:37	need that . That is a thing . I need
00:38	, you know , it could help . I bet
00:40	you already guessed it . Engineering . So how do
00:43	we use the engineering process to solve this problem ?
00:49	Well first we've got to define the problem . I
00:54	need a place that is secluded and quiet . I
00:56	needed to provide privacy in a sense of my own
00:58	nus sounds pretty great , right . What about a
01:00	big box to use as my space ? It's secluded
01:03	and it can be all my own solution wise .
01:06	It's a start but a small one we need to
01:08	consider more options . What if I made adjustments to
01:11	a space ? I already have my room . I
01:13	could hang blankets from the ceiling , tell block out
01:15	sounds from outside and then I could also sing my
01:18	head off to T swift if I wanted to without
01:20	bothering the rest of my family . To top things
01:22	off , I could add a do not enter sign
01:24	to my door like a serious sign , bold font
01:26	. All caps respect my side . Okay we've got
01:29	two options . What else ? What if instead of
01:32	adjusting a space I already have I create a new
01:35	space . There's a word for what we're talking about
01:37	here . Architecture maybe we could become not just engineers
01:41	but architects , engineers who design buildings , even though
01:45	the title of the job is a little different .
01:47	The process is still the same . So before doing
01:50	architecture , we've got to wear options and choose the
01:52	best designed to take into trials . Let's think about
01:55	the box idea first . It's probably too small .
01:58	I'd either be squished or be half hanging out of
02:00	it . Okay , how about tricking out my room
02:02	again while I feel like I have a sense of
02:04	privacy . I know that at any point any one
02:07	of my family members could bust in and the blankets
02:10	on the walls would muffle some of the sound but
02:12	wouldn't totally block them out . But hey , here's
02:15	an idea . What about a tree house ? It
02:17	would be totally my own . It would be far
02:20	enough from my house at any weird burps or loud
02:22	renditions of shake it off . Wouldn't bug my family
02:24	. Of course it would take some work . Some
02:26	architecture work . So architect activate . Mhm mm .
02:33	Let's build the treehouse . It'll have a drop down
02:36	rope ladder that I can pull up for optimal privacy
02:38	and it'll have windows so I can spot when someone's
02:41	on the way over and properly prepare myself . I
02:43	can even use the blanket while idea for my second
02:46	proposal to muffle the sound . Of course , I'll
02:48	need space for lounging and reading and dancing around .
02:51	But before we start building , you know what we've
02:54	got to do , build a prototype and test it
02:57	. And in order to conduct useful trials , we
02:59	need to isolate the variables . What are the variables
03:01	of this particular mission ? The size of the treehouse
03:04	we choose and the weight of the treehouse are really
03:06	important variables because we gotta make sure the treehouse can
03:10	stay in the tree . What about variables when it
03:12	comes to soundproofing , the thing , the number and
03:14	the size of the blankets that I use would be
03:15	one , and so would be the amount of noise
03:17	I plan on making inside the treehouse and we have
03:20	to keep in mind failure points to like the tree
03:22	might be able to support little old me in a
03:23	small wooden tree house , but if I have a
03:25	friend or two over the load might be too heavy
03:28	. That would be a serious failure point . As
03:31	for keeping things nice and quiet . Maybe my thickest
03:33	heaviest blankets can block a soft rendition of you belong
03:36	with me , but they might fail when I belt
03:39	out , shake it off or have a burping contest
03:41	. You've got to test these things so we'll keep
03:43	working with the variables until we've got a working design
03:46	, then it's time to build . Architects use the
03:53	same process , the engineering process when planning buildings ,
03:56	from skyscrapers to small family homes . I came up
03:59	with what I think will be a great treehouse ,
04:01	but as always , there can be lots of different
04:04	, successful solutions . So here's your challenge . Can
04:08	you come up with your own architecture solution ? What
04:10	would your building look like ? How would it meet
04:12	the success criteria and navigate the variables ? Let us
04:15	know .
