Stick-Boy teaches his Dad to build a Leonardo da Vinci Bridge. To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com
I love the passion in the kid. This is exactly what you want to get from a kid. Education should be more focussed on making kids do what they are passionate about instead of only looking at grades which causes overstress
This is exactly what teaching the next generation looks like. Sit back, guide them..shut up unless asked for guidance and let them grow and make mistakes. Be there for them and be prepared with the knowledge they may need
Patrick Jeanquart Or perhaps the dad is simply allowing the kid to explore and learn versus taking over the project. Which makes the dad even smarter for understanding the need to let the kid walk his own path.
Stick boy: yes! A video games called The Adventures of Stick Boy would be great. Quick, Stick Boy, hurry up and build a bridge to cross the Amazon before the hungry Gorillas get you!
awwww, the way that kid is bouncing from spot to spot. so excited and full of joy with glee in a wonderful hands on intelligent family fun filled moment:)! it reminds me of my childhood, before the weight of the world crushed my spirit.
Building a garden bridge in five minutes is a proper job indeed. His knowledge, understanding and youthful enthusiasm is certainly a miracle. Well done, Lad.
i wish i had a father like that or even just a mentor...the world needs a way to give kids everywhere a mentor. i wish tax money went to funding a new job that provides a one on one mentor for kids everywhere
I don't know about the support only, given the opportunity this is portable and could be worked into a bridge. With a little more effort (of sorts) and with a flat walking surface. Think of all the goods and troops that could use this. Or farmers needing a shorter route to the market but a permanent bridge would be taxed.
Was not aware Leonardo designed one of these as well. Not surprised though. I know they had a similar one technique in China. Probably developed independently of each other considering the time frames. Good work on it.
Good to watch. Practical lesson, proof of theory, pride in result. Next, lash each conjunction, make it strong and long lasting. Then find something that needs bridging. Then make a footway. Then really enjoy it.
Actually this type of bridge construction technique, called a _timber-woven-bridge_ - also known as a "Rainbow Bridge" - had be used long before da Vinvi came up with the idea in western Europe. The Chinese developed this construction technique during the Song Dynasty in the 11th century. There are hundreds of examples of this bridge type constructed throughout China. In 2000, PBS NOVA produced a documentary in their Secrets of Lost Empires series entitled: Secrets of Lost Empires: China Bridge ( czcams.com/video/clo_RBxyEUo/video.html ) It's great to see dad supporting his son with his engineering endeavours. Awesome!
This boy built a bridge, this father is building a son, great job both!

Great to see a youngster enjoying engineering
Did Darth Vader mind operating the camera?
Best laugh I've had in days.
I thought the same thing LOL!!
And a lot of wind noise too, pro mic have a ball of sponge on top to avoid noise.
thats cool. every dad should spend quality time with their sons thats what makes a real dad
you can see the boy's passion put into it. Nice
Nice vid and very generous of Darth Vader to run the camera ( his incessant breathing gives him away)
How ingenious! Something to be remembered not only by this clever boy, but also by nearly 400 thousand people who watched this video. Congratulations!

here where i live i see the kids being turned instead of mindless zombies hooked on facebook. not speaking with their friends cause smartphone.. ^^
Congrats spending time with your kid and promoting/validating his curiosity and creativity.
I'm really surprised and delighted to see all these positive comments about the father and son. It's good to see.
Stick Boy has a COOL Dad! He's very fortunate!

I hear you bro, me too...
Good Lad, good Dad. Good build!
I seem to remember a Chinese version of this bridge, that was actually used.
kleinjahr ...you are referring to the "Rainbow bridge", the PBS television series 'Nova' did an episode about it, if I remember correctly...
Love it! Spending quality time with your child and embracing his interests. Great parenting and a smart kid.
I have never heard of this bridge before. Thank ya!
Me neither, but I'm definitely going to do this with my scout troupe!
How did they get Darth Vader to film them?
Epic stuff guys, you make it look very easy. Looking forward to building one with the boys soon.
scuba camera man
Little man knows his stuff. Good for him
this kid has a massive brain. i like the way he thinks :)
Best part of this is the man (Dad) is taking instruction from the kid (son).
It's easy to see the kid's excitement and dad's quiet pride. Good video.
So beautiful to see a father and son working together like this. Congratulations to both of you.
Young man has a lot of confidence, and a great Dad ~ Impressive!
Good luck keeping up with this young fella. Good on you for supporting his passion.
Great boy and father!
Good to see you let the kid do the work
AWESOME! Simply awesome. Great job guys.
sharp kid im glad to see someone is helping to feed that flame! never let it go out.
I want to build a massive one of these with my daughters in the aisle at Home Depot. Then just... walk away.
Put a price tag on it
You're a pretty cool Dad, you are.
Betty Clark you've got to teach them civil disobedience early. (they will learn disobedience regardless)
I came here to watch a bridge get built in a backyard.
Instead, I am captivated by the bond between father and son.
Smart kid, but you can tell he is a kid by just how much joy he got out of knocking it down later. Well done.....
Wow.. I have such an admiration for how this was done.. bravo
Take note men: This is how you spend time with your sons.
CV yeah because when you die at least you built a built a bridge. 👍
@ Spider: More about actually building something with your kid and keeping him off imbecile social media/video games.
that kid could be playing call of duty or smoking pot and chugging mountain dew instead
In this deleted scene from Rouge One, two Imperial architects build and demonstrate a version of their bridge for Darth Vader, as he records it.
The humour is good with this one.
Mark Deegan hahaha likewise, good to see your sense of humour is on par with your knowledge of bridge building. Cheers!
That is some heavy breathing! haha. What an awesome bridge design. Da Vinci was such a genius!
This is terrific! Well done.
He's passionate about the bridge
Engineers call it a friction arch. Leonardo was a really smart guy, and so is your kid! Keep encouraging him.
Sweet bridge kid!
Building a garden bridge in five minutes is a proper job indeed. His knowledge, understanding and youthful enthusiasm is certainly a miracle. Well done, Lad.
The cameraman barely survived until the end.
Built this when I was a kid with popsicle sticks. Pretty cool seeing it larger and how much weight it can support.
Fantastic for a youngster to learn this. Most adults would not Know.
what a cool dad! that kid's gonna remember this day :-)
"Ken ah knock it?" Everything about that kid is adorable.
the poor guy who had to stand there and film it :P maybe you should invest in a tripod
Brilliant video. That kid will go far!
simply wonderful! great job!!! thx!!
the best part of building something is to knock it down at the end.
Father and son. Perfect! Great work!
Da Vinci was a real genius.
It's obvious the kid lives for knocking it more than building it. Building it is only a means to an end. The true pleasure is knocking it. xD
nice job, he enjoyed building it as much as he enjoyed knocking it down :D
I agree with Marlena Linne. I love this video for so many reasons. Well done!
expanding the mind and bonding, way to go Dad, and the bridge way cool too.
This should be on the kids channel. Kudos Kid!
Great job young man ! Keep it up !
DUDE THOSE ARE SOME SICK CAPRIS MAN!! Also the bridge is neat I guess
Dango Django! I heard that Leo invented a quicky bridge that the military could carry with them and put together as needed. That was a cool demo.
i wish i had a father like that or even just a mentor...the world needs a way to give kids everywhere a mentor. i wish tax money went to funding a new job that provides a one on one mentor for kids everywhere
in sweden we have this, we call them parents.
Great job & attitude. You'll go far in life.
So great to see a kid outside using his mind
What an awesome kid.
this kid is amazing
That's brilliant, will give it a go.
Well done, bravo!
best part about it.......knocking it over and starting again
Such an intuitive lad he's got a bright future!
Good job guys! Really cool.
Very cool, well done.
Was the camera man Darth Vader?
that is a little boy that will never starve to death. He will be clever his whole life
Great mind for such a young lad. well done for dad getting the materials, or other family member
very cool.
i wonder if any were ever constructed this way.
Only the structure to build the actual stone bridge. It was used as a support structure.
They made wood bridges like that in China.
China has a bridge built like this.
I don't know about the support only, given the opportunity this is portable and could be worked into a bridge. With a little more effort (of sorts) and with a flat walking surface. Think of all the goods and troops that could use this. Or farmers needing a shorter route to the market but a permanent bridge would be taxed.
That's really impressive!
Great team work i wanted to see dad get on it
Was not aware Leonardo designed one of these as well. Not surprised though. I know they had a similar one technique in China. Probably developed independently of each other considering the time frames.
Good work on it.
Great demonstration! Such particularity at a young age will take a young man far in life
A great dad, a smart kid and a nice construction. That's a very good combination =D
bravo, well done, good to see young engineers at work
Love this vid! Thanks
2:22 kid has more lifting skills than 99% of the douchebags i see at my gym; good stuff dad.
Great! He will make a great engineer one day.
We need more kids like this.
very smart lad... outstanding
Nice job stick boy!
I am impressed
And, the boy said,
"Dad! I want a lever and a place to stand... to move the earth."
Love the ending 😂
Excellent! Thanks for the video and best of luck!
Good to watch. Practical lesson, proof of theory, pride in result. Next, lash each conjunction, make it strong and long lasting. Then find something that needs bridging. Then make a footway. Then really enjoy it.
well done that boy, very nice management technique, good to see.
Wow! What a cool kid!
that was awesome, Mr Engineer.
That's a Smart Kid !
