Menzer Pehlivan

37
00:05:03,603 --> 00:05:05,972
grew up in Turkey.

38
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,310
I was a girly girl.

39
00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:14,514
I was a lead in schools plays.

40
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:16,883
I actually wanted to be
an actress.

41
00:05:19,786 --> 00:05:24,591
Until I was 13,
when everything changed.

42
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:33,990
We lived in
a high-rise building.

43
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,969
I remember my mother
waking me up,

44
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:39,806
terrified that the building
would come down.

45
00:05:42,442 --> 00:05:46,813
I remember watching
the people suffering.

46
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:53,286
From that moment on,
I knew what I wanted to do.

47
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:00,160
Today, I'm a professional
engineer in Seattle,

48
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:03,930
hoping to make structures
safer during earthquakes.

49
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:10,136
I love my job.

50
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:12,772
And I want kids to be
excited about engineering

51
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:14,607
as much as I am.

52
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,420
So, are you ready
for the earthquake?

53
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:17,444
- Yeah!
- Yeah?

54
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,979
Three, two, one.

55
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,482
Let's start slow.

56
00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:26,152
- Which one is...
- Go faster.

57
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:30,690
To design safer buildings,

58
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:34,294
we study how soil moves
during an earthquake.

59
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:39,299
The engineers test
building prototypes

60
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,680
on the big shake table.

61
00:06:50,844 --> 00:06:55,480
To learn more, Menzer studied
countries like Nepal,

62
00:06:55,181 --> 00:06:57,884
where earthquakes
can be severe.

63
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:04,357
Nepal is a very poor country,

64
00:07:04,491 --> 00:07:07,260
where most of the houses
were built

65
00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:10,497
without any
engineering design.

In 2015,

69
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:37,900
a massive earthquake
struck Nepal.

70
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:57,544
8,000 lost their lives.

71
00:07:57,644 --> 00:08:00,460
But some survived.

72
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:04,984
Including the miracle baby,

73
00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:07,954
buried in the rubble
for 22 hours.

74
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:16,629
To do her part,
Menzer took time off from work

75
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:18,465
and flew to Nepal

76
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:22,469
to join a team
of fact-finding engineers.

77
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:25,338
We collect data
on ground failures

78
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:28,174

washes away.

79
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:31,444

Namaste. Namaste.

83
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:42,756
Different types of soils
act differently.

84
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,158
Some soils act like a Jell-0.

85
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:47,861
Others act like a liquid

86
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:52,198
and lose all their strength.

87
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,168
Farmers led us to a field,

88
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:58,538
where carrots popped
out of the ground--

89
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:01,941
a clue that this soil
acted like a liquid

90
00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:05,378
during the earthquake.

91
00:09:05,512 --> 00:09:08,281
That's what we call
liquefaction.

92
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:13,953
I remember when I was 13.

93
00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:16,322
I know what these kids
are going through.

94
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,330
The emotional aftershock
of an earthquake

95
00:09:24,464 --> 00:09:26,833
can last for years.

96
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:32,839
This is why
I became an engineer.

97
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:40,800
After leaving Nepal,

98
00:09:40,213 --> 00:09:43,149
Menzer went
to San Francisco.

99
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:48,221
Here, engineers had
a unique challenge--

100
00:09:48,355 --> 00:09:49,756
designing the city's
tallest skyscraper

101
00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:54,160
at a site prone
to liquefaction.

102
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:58,698
The engineers solved it
from the ground up.

Menzer's team tours the site,

105
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,180
where engineers sunk
massive concrete columns

106
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,453
all the way down to bedrock

107
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:22,188
to resist earthquakes.

Keeping people safe

110

112
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:48,114
The first emperor of China
faced a problem:

113
00:10:53,486 --> 00:10:57,957
Mongol warriors were invading
from the north.

114
00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:01,270
So the emperor's engineers
began building something

115
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:03,363
that would preserve
their civilization

116
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,833
for almost 2,000 years.

I.“

118
00:11:17,744 --> 00:11:22,749
The Great Wall grew to be
13,000 miles long...

119
00:11:23,316 --> 00:11:27,220
the largest structure
ever built by humans.

120
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:33,590
After centuries of erosion
and earthquakes,

121
00:11:33,193 --> 00:11:35,995
much of the wall survives.

122
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:42,102
Steve Burrows,
an engineer from England,

123
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:44,904
has come to investigate.

124
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:48,108
It's really tough
to study the wall

125
00:11:48,241 --> 00:11:50,100
when it stands there
right on a knife edge

126
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:51,878
on the top of a mountain.

127
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,150
But we have our ways.

128
00:12:00,253 --> 00:12:02,689
This is lidar,

129
00:12:02,789 --> 00:12:04,724
the laser imaging device.

130
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,804
The lidar showed that the most
precisely built parts

131
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:20,400
are standing well today.

132
00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:26,790
However, miles away, badly
built sections of the wall

133
00:12:26,212 --> 00:12:28,281
are also still standing.

134
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:30,383
Why?

135
00:12:32,819 --> 00:12:35,388
500 years ago,
the builders added

136
00:12:35,488 --> 00:12:40,593
a secret ingredient
to their mortar:

137
00:12:40,727 --> 00:12:43,496
sticky rice.

138
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:50,270
Adding sticky rice and lime
to the mortar,

139
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:51,938
it makes the mortar
more elastic

140
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,508
'cause it allows the wall
to stretch and contract

141
00:12:55,642 --> 00:12:58,110
depending on the temperature.

142
00:13:00,313 --> 00:13:03,483
Sometimes the best solution

143
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:06,860
is the simplest--

144
00:13:06,186 --> 00:13:07,620
the one staring up at you

145
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,789
from your dinner plate.

146
00:13:14,594 --> 00:13:17,664
In western China,

147
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:20,967
across the highest bridges
on Earth,

148
00:13:21,101 --> 00:13:24,938
people are moving
from farms to cities.

149
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:31,845
Shanghai is now the most
populous city in the world--

150
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:34,981
24 million people.

151
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:39,652
But there's a problem.

152
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:43,189
No more space to build.

153
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:46,159
Where can they all live?

154
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:58,204
Engineers squeezed
an entire urban district

155
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:00,740
into one city block...

156
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:03,143
by going vertical.

157
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:09,516
They envisioned
China's tallest building,

158
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:11,885
the Shanghai Tower,

159
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:14,187
rising 128 floors high

160
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,724
with space
for 16,000 people.

161
00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:22,529
But the taller the structure,

162
00:14:22,662 --> 00:14:26,166
the more it flirts
with Mother Nature.

163
00:14:28,435 --> 00:14:29,836
Each summer,

164
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:33,106
typhoons blast the city.

165
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:34,607
The Shanghai Tower would soon

166
00:14:34,741 --> 00:14:37,110
become a huge target.

167
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:40,680
But the engineers had

168
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:42,782
some tricks up their sleeve.

169
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:49,723
By twisting the outer skin
120 degrees,

170
00:14:49,856 --> 00:14:53,793
the wind safely glides
around the tower.

171
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,932
Here, the problem
of population density

172
00:14:59,650 --> 00:15:00,867
has been met.

173
00:15:00,967 --> 00:15:03,570
All thanks to the ingenuity

174
00:15:03,703 --> 00:15:06,390
of a twist.

175
00:15:10,877 --> 00:15:13,446
Wind is an intriguing
challenge

176
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:16,316
for engineers of all ages.

177
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:19,586
Menzer makes a game of it.

178
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:22,789
Okay, this competition
will count as ten points.

179
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:25,425
And the tallest skyscraper
that resists the wind

180
00:15:25,558 --> 00:15:27,427
will get five extra.

181
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,950
Yay! Excited?

182
00:15:29,229 --> 00:15:30,563
All right.

183
00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:36,503
Now, remember,
planning is important.

184
00:15:36,636 --> 00:15:38,271
Before cutting...

185
00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:41,341
make sure
what you're building.

186
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:45,812
Building
these paper skyscrapers

187
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:49,249
teach kids the most
important thing...

188
00:15:49,349 --> 00:15:51,451
engineering is fun.

189
00:15:58,324 --> 00:15:59,793
Oh, it's getting...

190
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:02,295
Oh, no!

191
00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,199
In 1940,

192
00:16:06,332 --> 00:16:10,537
the newly opened Tacoma
Narrows Bridge, near Seattle,

193
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:14,841
earned the nickname
Galloping Gertie.

194
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:26,453
A moderate wind gusting
to 40 miles an hour

195
00:16:26,553 --> 00:16:29,289
made the bridge bounce...

196
00:16:29,389 --> 00:16:32,525
resulting in collapse.

197
00:16:35,228 --> 00:16:38,832
Fortunately,
no one was killed.

198
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:45,739
Engineers learn
from catastrophes.

199
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:49,409
New insights about the impact
of wind on suspension bridges

200
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,911
have led to better designs.

201
00:16:52,450 --> 00:16:54,470
Near Menzer's home
in Seattle,

202
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:57,684
two safer bridges have
replaced Galloping Gertie.

203
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:04,570
A large bridge
can connect people.

204
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:07,327
And so can a small one.

205
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:08,928
I.“

206
00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:11,164
After graduating
from college,

207
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:14,734
a young bridge engineer
had a choice to make--

208
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:17,203
accept a high-paying job

209
00:17:17,337 --> 00:17:19,739
or follow her heart.

210
00:17:21,408 --> 00:17:24,770
Today, Avery Bang

211
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:26,379
leads a team
of passionate engineers

212
00:17:26,513 --> 00:17:29,849
building foot bridges
in poor countries.

213
00:17:29,949 --> 00:17:31,551
In Haiti,

214
00:17:31,685 --> 00:17:34,220
I worked with kids
whose village was isolated.

215
00:17:34,354 --> 00:17:37,590
Just across river
was the only school.

216
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,125
And they could see it,

217
00:17:39,259 --> 00:17:40,760
it was right there,

218
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:43,196
but they just couldn't
get to it.

219
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,365
Over the past decade,

220
00:17:45,465 --> 00:17:50,203
50 people have drowned
trying to cross this river.

221
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:58,311
A man who grew up
by the river,

222
00:17:58,445 --> 00:18:01,948
Fritz Touissand,
offered to help.

223
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:06,619
He had a very personal stake
in this bridge.

224
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:09,889
Three years ago,

225
00:18:09,989 --> 00:18:12,459
when our youngest girl
needed medicine,

226
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:15,950
Mathilde, my wife, headed off

227
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:17,831
to the clinic
across the river.

228
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:24,804
The river was
very high that day.

229
00:18:27,841 --> 00:18:30,677
Now I have eight children

230
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:33,179
to raise on my own.

231
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,283
To get to school,

232
00:18:37,417 --> 00:18:39,452
my kids cross the river

233
00:18:39,586 --> 00:18:41,921
right where
their mother drowned.

234
00:18:50,163 --> 00:18:52,866
Mathilde was everything
to them.

235
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:59,606
They needed a bridge.

236
00:19:02,420 --> 00:19:05,512
At least, it's going to be
a really big bridge.

237
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:06,980
Our mantra

238
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:09,282
is "Keep it simple."

239
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:12,385
With this new hinge
design Avery came up with,

240
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:14,721
the crew can raise
tall towers,

241
00:19:14,854 --> 00:19:16,690
using nothing but ropes.

242
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:18,291
...erected from
horizontal to vertical.

243
00:19:18,391 --> 00:19:20,160
Right. Okay.

244
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:23,290
A young Haitian engineer
named Junior Pierre Louis

245
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:24,964
has joined the team.

246
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:27,500
Working with local
engineers like Junior

247
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:29,336
has a ripple effect.

248
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:32,172
Today, we're building
one bridge.

249
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:36,676
Tomorrow, they may build
ten more on their own.

250
00:21:07,701 --> 00:21:10,303
Avery's decision
to follow her heart

251
00:21:10,437 --> 00:21:12,739
has had a huge impact.

252
00:21:14,874 --> 00:21:17,544
Her team of engineers
has volunteered

253
00:21:17,644 --> 00:21:20,380
to build nearly 200 bridges

254
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,282
where they're needed most.

255
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:27,787
Similar engineering groups

256
00:21:27,921 --> 00:21:30,790
have built thousands more
worldwide.

257
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:38,798
Every waterway
challenges engineers.

258
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:46,506
For centuries, trains could
climb Scotland's rugged hills,

259
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:48,274
but boats?

260
00:21:50,343 --> 00:21:52,579
It once took an entire day

261
00:21:52,679 --> 00:21:54,514
fer a beat to be raised here,

262
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,417
using 11 cumbersome locks.

263
00:22:01,254 --> 00:22:04,524
But then, a team
of visionary engineers

264
00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:07,360
reinvented the wheel--

265
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:10,300
The Falkirk Wheel.

266
00:22:19,390 --> 00:22:20,674
The arm with the heavier boat

267
00:22:20,807 --> 00:22:22,308
carries less water,

268
00:22:22,442 --> 00:22:26,446
so the wheel always remains
perfectly balanced.

269
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:31,451
It uses just a wee bit
of electricity.

270
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:34,788
I.“

271
00:23:01,470 --> 00:23:05,719
I.“

272
00:23:05,852 --> 00:23:09,689
Falkirk is frugal
with electricity.

273
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:12,425
But renewable energy

274
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,862
holds an even brighter future.

275
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,370
From their small town
in Mississippi,

276
00:23:23,503 --> 00:23:24,904
these high school students

277
00:23:25,380 --> 00:23:27,540
will take the solar car
they built themselves

278
00:23:27,674 --> 00:23:32,450
and compete in
the Solar Challenge.

279
00:23:32,178 --> 00:23:36,160
Some of the kids have never
been to the next county,

280
00:23:36,116 --> 00:23:38,385
much less Australia.

281
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:41,870
I.“

282
00:23:41,221 --> 00:23:42,789
My name's Ajay Patel.

283
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:44,391
I'm in the tenth grade

284
00:23:44,524 --> 00:23:46,893
and this is my second year
on the solar car team.

285
00:23:47,270 --> 00:23:48,128
I like the hands-on part,

286
00:23:48,261 --> 00:23:49,696
where you can actually,
like, drill

287
00:23:49,796 --> 00:23:51,970
and use our brains more

288
00:23:51,231 --> 00:23:52,632
and solve problems.

289
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:56,269
In the Solar Challenge,

290
00:23:56,403 --> 00:23:58,905
the world's top
university teams

291
00:23:59,390 --> 00:24:01,274
will race 1,600 miles

292
00:24:01,408 --> 00:24:04,411
on solar power alone.

293
00:24:04,544 --> 00:24:07,547
All the cars are kind
of strange and elegant.

294
00:24:07,647 --> 00:24:10,500
They're really extreme
and expensive.

295
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:17,590
A-All of 'em except for one.

296
00:24:17,724 --> 00:24:19,659
I.“

297
00:24:29,336 --> 00:24:32,939
It's
seriously hot inside the car.

298
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:36,109
120 degrees Fahrenheit.

299
00:24:38,778 --> 00:24:39,913
It's not moving.

300
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,304
Our new lithium batteries

301
00:25:04,437 --> 00:25:07,140
aren't holding a charge.

302
00:25:07,273 --> 00:25:09,309
By tilting the solar panels
towards the sun,

303
00:25:09,442 --> 00:25:11,311
we were able to squeeze
just a bit more power

304
00:25:11,444 --> 00:25:13,513
out of the batteries.

305
00:25:13,646 --> 00:25:15,682
Just enough to keep going.

306
00:25:34,501 --> 00:25:37,337
And we were proud
to cross the finish line.

307
00:25:37,470 --> 00:25:40,600
Even if we were the last ones.

308
00:25:42,742 --> 00:25:46,413
Solar energy
can power a single car

309
00:25:46,546 --> 00:25:48,915
or an entire city.

310
00:25:51,584 --> 00:25:54,487
The world's largest
solar facility,

311
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:58,224
the lvanpah Solar Electric
Generating System,

312
00:25:58,358 --> 00:25:58,858
reduces C02 emissions
by over 1,000 tons every day.

313
00:26:07,701 --> 00:26:10,170
Hundreds of thousands
of mirrors

314
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:12,739
slowly pivot
to keep the hot spot

315
00:26:12,872 --> 00:26:15,410
focused on the boiler
at the top.

316
00:26:20,347 --> 00:26:23,917
Water inside turns to steam
and drives turbines,

317
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:26,953
which produce electricity
for our cities,

318
00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:30,390
like Phoenix, Arizona...

319
00:26:30,523 --> 00:26:33,893
where Angelica Hernandez
is an engineer

320
00:26:34,270 --> 00:26:36,620
working on renewable energy.

321
00:26:38,980 --> 00:26:40,400
I feel like
I've really got it all.

322
00:26:40,533 --> 00:26:42,302
You know, I have
an amazing husband,

323
00:26:42,435 --> 00:26:44,137
I have a super cute baby

324
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:46,306
and a job
as an engineer, which...

325
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:48,241
which is one of my dreams.

326
00:26:48,375 --> 00:26:50,977
But, you know,
I didn't start out that way.

327
00:26:52,379 --> 00:26:55,715
I grew up
on the poor side of town.

328
00:26:57,217 --> 00:26:59,152
My mom worked
really, really hard

329
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:01,588
just m get by-

330
00:27:04,991 --> 00:27:08,128
Then I went
to Carl Hayden High School,

331
00:27:08,261 --> 00:27:10,930
where I met an amazing,
inspiring teacher

332
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,666
who changed my life:

333
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,902
Fredi Lajvardi.

334
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,271
So I see one way
you could solve this.

335
00:27:18,405 --> 00:27:20,306
You could stop
your catapult...

336
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,309
l joined his
after-school robotics class

337
00:27:23,443 --> 00:27:26,846
and the problems
weren't easy to solve,

338
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:29,649
but Fredi always knew
how to make it fun.

339
00:27:29,783 --> 00:27:31,951
That will leave you
with a higher trajectory...

340
00:27:32,850 --> 00:27:34,454
You're doing a good job.

341
00:27:34,587 --> 00:27:36,156
I.“

342
00:27:36,289 --> 00:27:38,692
The kids were just
having so much fun.

343
00:27:38,825 --> 00:27:40,293
They were learning so much.

344
00:27:40,427 --> 00:27:41,628
They didn't even realize
that they were learning

345
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:43,290
and that was the best part.

346
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:46,533
Good catch!

347
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:47,767
Awesome.

348
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:49,269
They heard about

349
00:27:49,369 --> 00:27:51,438
a national underwater
robotics competition

350
00:27:51,538 --> 00:27:52,839
in Santa Barbara, California.

351
00:27:52,972 --> 00:27:56,900
And, on a whim,

352
00:27:56,142 --> 00:27:57,977
decided to enter.

353
00:27:58,111 --> 00:27:59,612
Heads up!

354
00:27:59,713 --> 00:28:01,648
We didn't have much funding.

355
00:28:01,781 --> 00:28:04,284
But if you can't be expensive,

356
00:28:04,384 --> 00:28:05,685
be clever.

357
00:28:05,819 --> 00:28:08,855
So we used cheap
landscaping pipe.

358
00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:11,691
In Robotics Club,
Fredi taught us a system:

359
00:28:11,825 --> 00:28:14,828
to find the problem, come up
with different solutions

360
00:28:14,961 --> 00:28:17,297
and pick the best one.

361
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,168
But the one problem
we couldn't solve

362
00:28:22,302 --> 00:28:25,538
was the smell
of the pipe glue.

363
00:28:25,672 --> 00:28:28,708
It just stunk.

364
00:28:28,842 --> 00:28:32,479
So we named our robot Stinky.

365
00:28:35,150 --> 00:28:37,384
- It's working, yeah.
- Yes.

366
00:28:37,517 --> 00:28:38,718
Stinky was a bunch of pipe

367
00:28:38,852 --> 00:28:41,154
with a little bit of CPU

368
00:28:41,254 --> 00:28:43,990
and a whole lot of cables.

369
00:28:48,428 --> 00:28:51,765
Six months and $800 later,

370
00:28:51,898 --> 00:28:54,434
Stinky was ready to go.

371
00:28:54,567 --> 00:28:56,603
Here, guys,
let's, uh, hurry up

372
00:28:56,736 --> 00:28:58,338
and get Stinky in here.

373
00:28:58,438 --> 00:29:00,874
Sadly, Angelica
had work commitments,

374
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:02,709
and had to miss the trip.

375
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:05,512
I was really
disappointed, but, you know,

376
00:29:05,612 --> 00:29:08,248
I said my good-byes
and off they went.

377
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,420
I.“

378
00:29:46,586 --> 00:29:47,921
The team arrived
in Santa Barbara

379
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:49,956
the day before the competition.

380
00:29:52,459 --> 00:29:55,261
Some of the best engineering
programs in the country

381
00:29:55,395 --> 00:29:59,733
compete, like MIT, the champs
from the year before.

382
00:30:03,169 --> 00:30:04,971
We were going with the mindset

383
00:30:05,105 --> 00:30:07,407
that we were going
mainly as observers.

384
00:30:07,507 --> 00:30:09,743
And if we beat
just one college,

385
00:30:09,843 --> 00:30:12,112
that would be phenomenal.

386
00:30:16,783 --> 00:30:18,284
When we arrived there, I mean,

387
00:30:18,418 --> 00:30:20,620
we looked like the carnival
had arrived.

388
00:30:20,754 --> 00:30:22,689
I.“

389
00:30:28,294 --> 00:30:29,763
Just a raggedy robot.

390
00:30:29,863 --> 00:30:31,164
Looked like we'd just
pieced together

391
00:30:31,297 --> 00:30:33,600
everything from a junkyard.

392
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,936
That's MIT.

393
00:30:38,605 --> 00:30:39,806
The other robots

394
00:30:39,939 --> 00:30:42,842
were like pieces
of underwater jewelry.

395
00:30:46,613 --> 00:30:48,381
They were chrome.

396
00:30:48,515 --> 00:30:50,350
There was stainless steel.

397
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:53,186
There were manufactured
plastics.

398
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,288
I.“

399
00:30:57,891 --> 00:30:59,559
These high school kids

400
00:30:59,693 --> 00:31:03,163
wanted to quickly test Stinky
before anyone noticed them.

401
00:31:20,146 --> 00:31:22,820
I.“

402
00:31:24,718 --> 00:31:26,860
The robot was going left

403
00:31:26,219 --> 00:31:27,754
when they wanted it
to go right.

404
00:31:27,887 --> 00:31:30,190
It wouldn't go up
when they wanted it to go up.

405
00:31:37,997 --> 00:31:40,567
We had to figure out
what was going on.

406
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:46,906
Fredi has always told
his students

407
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,111
when you get in a jam,
start asking smart questions.

408
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,382
We had a small leak
but no clue where it was.

409
00:31:55,382 --> 00:32:04,624
If we can't find
the leak, what can we do?

410
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,396
And then Lorenzo
asked everybody,

411
00:32:09,529 --> 00:32:12,699
"Aren't tampons
really absorbent?"

412
00:32:14,534 --> 00:32:17,570
This was a do-or-die
kind of situation.

413
00:32:17,704 --> 00:32:19,539
- I got 'em!
- Yeah! -Yes!

414
00:32:23,109 --> 00:32:25,145
It wasn't about
building a robot.

415
00:32:25,278 --> 00:32:28,248
It was about learning
haw to learn for yourself.

416
00:32:31,751 --> 00:32:35,121
The boys arrived
at the competition exhausted,

417
00:32:35,255 --> 00:32:36,823
without a chance
to test Stinky.

418
00:32:36,956 --> 00:32:38,825
Carl Hayden High School,

419
00:32:38,958 --> 00:32:40,560
- you have one minute.
- Let's go, guys!

420
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:42,262
Do it! You can do it!

421
00:32:42,395 --> 00:32:45,298
We had no idea
if the solution would work.

422
00:33:02,582 --> 00:33:07,200
Thanks to a wild
idea, Stinky was working again.

423
00:33:09,356 --> 00:33:14,361
The boys had 30 minutes
to complete ten tasks.

424
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:22,535
The college teams had a laser
to measure distances.

425
00:33:22,669 --> 00:33:25,638
Carl Hayden
couldn't afford one.

426
00:33:28,608 --> 00:33:30,977
They used
a tape measure instead.

427
00:33:43,289 --> 00:33:44,824
The hardest task

428
00:33:44,958 --> 00:33:47,827
was to sample a fluid
from a barrel...

429
00:33:47,961 --> 00:33:49,729
with a tube.

430
00:33:51,798 --> 00:33:54,734
Most of the teams
didn't even attempt it.

431
00:33:56,803 --> 00:33:58,204
When we went straight to it,

432
00:33:58,338 --> 00:33:59,673
it just-just fell into it,

433
00:33:59,806 --> 00:34:02,742
like it was meant to be
or something.

434
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,687
At the awards banquet,

435
00:34:13,820 --> 00:34:16,656
they heard something
that surprised everyone.

436
00:34:16,756 --> 00:34:19,826
And second place goes to...

437
00:34:21,428 --> 00:34:26,320
...Massachusetts Institute
of Technology!

438
00:34:29,736 --> 00:34:32,706
MIT got second place.

439
00:34:35,875 --> 00:34:39,446
I was thinking, "Who's first?

440
00:34:39,579 --> 00:34:41,348
"Oh, man, who's-- who beat MIT?

441
00:34:41,448 --> 00:34:43,416
This is, this is
gonna be awesome."

442
00:34:46,686 --> 00:34:48,955
First place goes to...

443
00:34:49,890 --> 00:34:52,392
Carl Hayden High School
from Phoenix, Arizona!

444
00:34:53,860 --> 00:34:55,795
Oh!

445
00:34:59,966 --> 00:35:03,269
It was almost disbelief.

446
00:35:03,403 --> 00:35:05,705
Is this a dream
or is this for real?

447
00:35:12,979 --> 00:35:15,115
I don't remember
walking to the stage,

448
00:35:15,248 --> 00:35:17,217
because, you know,
I was just floating, I think.

449
00:35:28,461 --> 00:35:31,970
What started out
as a crazy idea

450
00:35:31,231 --> 00:35:33,433
turned into something
so much more.

451
00:35:35,468 --> 00:35:38,104
Today, that high school
robotics club

452
00:35:38,238 --> 00:35:41,241
has grown exponentially,

453
00:35:41,341 --> 00:35:44,310
largely thanks to Fredi.

454
00:35:46,279 --> 00:35:50,116
Knowing that
somebody believes in you,

455
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:53,453
even though you don't
believe in yourself,

456
00:35:53,586 --> 00:35:55,989
even though you doubt
that you could do something,

457
00:35:56,122 --> 00:35:59,759
um, I think, you know, if you
could find that in somebody,

458
00:35:59,859 --> 00:36:03,997
it's just... it's a blessing.

459
00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:08,101
It was because of him
that Angelica went to Stanford.

460
00:36:10,136 --> 00:36:11,705
Now my husband Juan and I

461
00:36:11,838 --> 00:36:14,374
are both engineers in Phoenix.

462
00:36:14,507 --> 00:36:17,677
And, I mean, you never know.

463
00:36:17,811 --> 00:36:20,780
Maybe my daughter
will be one, too.

464
00:36:23,183 --> 00:36:25,885
And any chance I get,
I like to help

465
00:36:26,190 --> 00:36:28,888
my favorite teacher
inspire future engineers.

466
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:30,557
...the same thing
with this one.

467
00:36:30,690 --> 00:36:33,590
It's not doing it,
because it's a triangle.

468
00:36:33,193 --> 00:36:35,729
It's very solid.
It doesn't change shape.

469
00:36:35,862 --> 00:36:38,365
So now we want you
to come up with different ways

470
00:36:38,498 --> 00:36:40,367
to make the bridge stronger--

471
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,402
so you see the truck
in front of you--

472
00:36:42,535 --> 00:36:44,370
so it can make it
across the bridge.

473
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:45,805
- You guys want to try that?
- Yeah!

474
00:36:45,905 --> 00:36:48,308
- All right. Let's try it.
- Hey, let's do it.

475
00:36:48,408 --> 00:36:51,544
Well, I think they need
to try to have more triangles.

476
00:36:51,678 --> 00:36:55,882
There's barely any
support going along the bottom.

477
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,218
Yeah, I think
they should put a sign

478
00:36:58,351 --> 00:37:01,221
and say "no trucks allowed."

479
00:37:01,354 --> 00:37:04,991
The screw's not stable, period,
because it fell apart.

480
00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:07,394
- The whole bridge.
-lt's not stable at all.

481
00:37:07,527 --> 00:37:11,197
We have to remind ourselves
about budget cost.

482
00:37:11,331 --> 00:37:14,601
Yeah, but how about we cross
that bridge when we come to it?

483
00:37:14,734 --> 00:37:16,360
Because I think...

484
00:37:16,169 --> 00:37:18,380
Young minds find new paths.

485
00:37:18,171 --> 00:37:20,440
It was not physics alone
that led to

486
00:37:20,573 --> 00:37:24,778
the Millau Bridge in France--
it was art.

487
00:37:24,911 --> 00:37:27,213
That one! -PEHLIVAN:
That one over there, right?

488
00:37:27,347 --> 00:37:30,450
- And what are the triangles
for? -

489
00:37:30,583 --> 00:37:33,887
Young minds
will shape our future.

490
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,390
- It provides, uh, stability,
right? -Yeah.

491
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,462
Some young engineers
have a bold dream

492
00:38:15,595 --> 00:38:17,731
to revolutionize
transportation.

493
00:38:17,831 --> 00:38:21,301
It's called Hyperloop.

494
00:38:21,434 --> 00:38:24,504
If they succeed,
they'll allow us

495
00:38:24,637 --> 00:38:27,974
to travel 700 miles per hour.

496
00:38:31,411 --> 00:38:33,780
I.“

497
00:38:35,415 --> 00:38:40,186
That's from L.A. to
San Francisco in 30 minutes.

498
00:38:43,623 --> 00:38:48,940
By the end of the century,
90% of us will live in cities,

499
00:38:48,194 --> 00:38:51,970
an exciting challenge
for engineers.

500
00:38:51,197 --> 00:38:53,166
I.“

501
00:39:06,446 --> 00:39:08,314
The bigger cities get,

502
00:39:08,448 --> 00:39:11,384
the smarter
they'll need to become.

503
00:39:12,852 --> 00:39:14,721
This new transportation hub

504
00:39:14,854 --> 00:39:14,921
in San Francisco will feature
a network of wireless sensors.

505
00:39:20,193 --> 00:39:22,620
This will make it safer,

506
00:39:22,195 --> 00:39:23,730
more energy-efficient,

507
00:39:23,863 --> 00:39:26,660
and smarter.

508
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:28,535
I.“

509
00:39:37,377 --> 00:39:39,512
The more urban we become,

510
00:39:39,612 --> 00:39:42,515
the more we need trees,
gardens,

511
00:39:42,615 --> 00:39:45,180
and places to play.

512
00:39:47,620 --> 00:39:51,524
The word "engineer"
means "ingenious."

513
00:39:51,624 --> 00:39:54,194
I love being an engineer.

514
00:39:54,294 --> 00:39:56,529
I create things from nothing.

515
00:39:56,629 --> 00:40:00,367
From blank sheets of paper,
I can change cities.

516
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:04,571
I can change the future.

517
00:40:47,747 --> 00:40:50,283
The joy
of engineering the future

518
00:40:50,417 --> 00:40:53,286
belongs to the young.

519
00:40:53,420 --> 00:40:57,924
What better time
to start dreaming big.

520
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,427
I.“
