Episode 1The Wobbly Bridge
Learning about strong shapes and balance.
The bots build a bridge so the little red car can cross the stream. When it wobbles and falls down, they think and try again, and learn two builder tricks: a wide base keeps things steady, and triangles make things strong.
Try it at home: Can you find a triangle in your house today?

Episode 2The Little Lake
Building a small lake and learning what fish need.
The bots build a little brick pond in the town garden. When it leaks, Widgely has an idea-bulb: a pond liner! Then they learn what fish need: clean water, air, a little food, and room to swim.
Try it at home: Read a fish book or visit an aquarium with a grown-up, and count the fish! Always stay with a grown-up near water.

Episode 3The Playground
A slide is a ramp, a seesaw is a lever, and a swing is a pendulum.
The bots build a playground and find the science inside: a slide is a ramp, a seesaw is a lever that needs balance, and a swing goes back and forth like a pendulum. They also practice taking turns and playing safely.
Try it at home: Next time you visit a playground with a grown-up, look for a ramp, a lever, and a pendulum!

Episode 4Hanukkah Lights
Learning about Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, and counting eight candles.
The bots build a blue-and-white brick menorah and learn about Hanukkah: it lasts eight nights, the helper candle called the shamash lights the others, and one more candle is added each night. They count all eight candles, spin a dreidel, talk about latkes and jelly doughnuts, and sing along to a Hanukkah tune with words on the screen.
Try it at home: Count the candles with a grown-up! Remember, only grown-ups light real candles.

Episode 5The Giant Skyscraper
Learning how a skyscraper is built: a deep foundation, a strong frame, floors, a core, and glass.
An old, empty building in Botsville tumbles down (nobody was inside, and everyone is safe). The bots clean up together, sort the bricks to use again, and learn the old building fell because its foundation wasn't strong anymore. Then they build a giant skyscraper: a deep foundation underground, a strong frame like a skeleton, a crane lifting heavy parts, a core with elevators and stairs, ten floors to count, and shiny glass for its skin. They also learn tall buildings are made to sway a tiny bit in the wind and stay safe.
Try it at home: Next time you see a tall building with a grown-up, look up and count the floors! Remember, only grown-up builders use real cranes, and real builders wear hard hats.
Builder Crew (ages 7-11)
Builder Crew episodes for older kids, ages 7 to 11: four older-kid bots share real, practical building tips.

Builder Crew Episode 1How to Organize and Build a Brick Set
The smart way to organize and build a toy brick set, step by step.
Zipley wants to build the new space station set in ten minutes flat, so the Builder Crew shows the smart way: set up a clear, flat, well-lit space, open one numbered bag at a time, sort pieces by color and size (a muffin tin works great), read the parts box for each step, count studs to tell pieces apart, and build in sections. When Zipley rushes and skips a step, a brick separator helps him undo it, and he learns that checking every step against the picture is actually faster. Then Remixa adds her own creative touch.
Try it at home: Next time you build a set, sort your pieces first and check each step against the picture. Keep tiny pieces away from little brothers, sisters and pets.

Builder Crew Episode 2The Great Sukkah Rescue
Learning how to build a sukkah the right way for Sukkot, and about the lulav and etrog.
Sukkot starts tomorrow when a gust of wind tips over the big city sukkah in the town square (nobody was inside, and everyone is safe). The Builder Crew cleans up, finds out the walls weren't braced or tied tight, and rebuilds it the right way: at least three walls sturdy enough to stand in a normal wind (even toy bricks work), not too short and not too tall, and a roof covering called schach made of cut plants like branches and bamboo, with more shade than sun, room to see the stars, and no tree or roof above it. Remixa decorates it, the crew shares their first holiday meal inside, and the next morning they learn about the four kinds: the lulav (palm branch) bound with myrtle and willow, held together with the etrog (citron), with a blessing, then waved in all six directions. Chag Sameach!
Try it at home: Next Sukkot, visit a sukkah with a grown-up and check: how many walls does it have, and can you see the stars through the schach?
