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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/ep01b.mp4139yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/ep02.jpgEpisode 2: The Little LakeThe 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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/ep02b.mp4158yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/ep03.jpgEpisode 3: The PlaygroundThe 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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/ep03b.mp4136yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/ep04.jpgEpisode 4: Hanukkah LightsThe 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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/ep04c.mp4169yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/ep05.jpgEpisode 5: The Giant SkyscraperAn 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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/ep05.mp4164yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/bc01.jpgBuilder Crew Episode 1: How to Organize and Build a Brick SetZipley 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.https://botvilleusa.com/v/bc01b.mp4219yeshttps://botvilleusa.com/v/bc02.jpgBuilder Crew Episode 2: The Great Sukkah RescueSukkot 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.
