Q&A + design challenge with Mark Rober at MIT

When engineer, educator and KZbinr ‪@MarkRober‬ spent a couple days on MIT campus back in May, he met with over fifty children from the broader ‪@mit‬ community for a design challenge and Q&A.
Check out Mark's answers to questions like:
- Which video was the most expensive to make?
- Which video was your favorite to make?
- Why did you decide to invest in engineering?
- What’s your favorite part about science?
- How did you come up with the names of your squirrels?
- What was the video you wanted to make, but you couldn’t?
- What’s your favorite city?
- What was the video that made you famous?
Divided into age-diverse groups, the children were tasked with creatively moving a ball from one side of a table to the other using available materials like cardboard, tubes, wires, cups, tape, scissors, and markers. Coached by members of MIT Morningside Academy for Design’s first-year Learning Community DesignPlus, the teams had fun while demonstrating problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset. Mark encouraged each group with constructive feedback, and took time to listen to the kids sharing their thought process. The day concluded with a Q&A session between Mark and the children, where they asked about his favorite and future videos, his challenges, and even squirrels.
