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
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.
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!
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.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great video - I applaud both the boys interest in historic engineering and the fathers interaction with his son, but in the interest of ensuring the kid gets a good education I must correct the assumption made by the title of this vid. This type of bridge was in use long before Da Vinci was born, it's a traditional bridge building technique used in Japan. They developed the technique to mitigate the damage caused by earthquakes, bridges built in this manner flex and are much more likely to survive (similar techniques are in fact also used in the construction of pagodas) whereas a nailed together structure can't flex and is torn apart.
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.
@4:41: Thinks to self, "hmmm, that might be kind of dangerous." Says: "here! you go first!" LOL... just joshin' ya. That looks like a lot of good clean backyard fun, what a great to share learning about physics and engineering with your kid!
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.
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 ( ruclips.net/video/clo_RBxyEUo/видео.html ) It's great to see dad supporting his son with his engineering endeavours. Awesome!
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 like this Kid, VERY Intelligent for sure :D. Understand a Concept, and then make it happens is VERY HARD !!! Not many can do it... Hell, some adults still have Problems, LOL Bravo!

This boy built a bridge, this father is building a son, great job both!
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
thats cool. every dad should spend quality time with their sons thats what makes a real dad
I came here to watch a bridge get built in a backyard.
Instead, I am captivated by the bond between father and son.
The epitome of a great father son relationship. Keep up the good work! This 10 year old is destined for great things.
Not if he keeps dead lifting while his back looks like a scared cat! Use those legs boy!
i have faith in kids now after seeing what the schooling system has done to the mindless dolts they call kids today
Great to see a youngster enjoying engineering
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.
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
here where i live i see the kids being turned instead of mindless zombies hooked on facebook. not speaking with their friends cause smartphone.. ^^
you can see the boy's passion put into it. Nice
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.
How ingenious! Something to be remembered not only by this clever boy, but also by nearly 400 thousand people who watched this video. Congratulations!
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.
I hear you bro, me too...
Nice vid and very generous of Darth Vader to run the camera ( his incessant breathing gives him away)
Good Lad, good Dad. Good build!
this kid has a massive brain. i like the way he thinks :)
Epic stuff guys, you make it look very easy. Looking forward to building one with the boys soon.
Love it! Spending quality time with your child and embracing his interests. Great parenting and a smart kid.
Stick Boy has a COOL Dad! He's very fortunate!

Good to see you let the kid do the work
Little man knows his stuff. Good for him
Best part of this is the man (Dad) is taking instruction from the kid (son).
So beautiful to see a father and son working together like this. Congratulations to both of you.
It's easy to see the kid's excitement and dad's quiet pride. Good video.
I have never heard of this bridge before. Thank ya!
Me neither, but I'm definitely going to do this with my scout troupe!
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.
Young man has a lot of confidence, and a great Dad ~ Impressive!
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)

He tells his dad what to do, but asks his mom if he can break it.
The cameraman is a big fat man promised of a double cheeseburger if he could just film this wonderful son and dad moment...
Good luck keeping up with this young fella. Good on you for supporting his passion.
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!
Great demonstration! Such particularity at a young age will take a young man far in life
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...
The cameraman barely survived until the end.
Engineers call it a friction arch. Leonardo was a really smart guy, and so is your kid! Keep encouraging him.
AWESOME! Simply awesome. Great job guys.
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.....
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.
Da Vinci invented Ikea
Wow.. I have such an admiration for how this was done.. bravo
We need more kids like this.
Built this when I was a kid with popsicle sticks. Pretty cool seeing it larger and how much weight it can support.
Great boy and father!
That is some heavy breathing! haha. What an awesome bridge design. Da Vinci was such a genius!
He's passionate about the bridge
Darth vader holding the camera....
cool kid though.
Fantastic for a youngster to learn this. Most adults would not Know.
sharp kid im glad to see someone is helping to feed that flame! never let it go out.
This should be on the kids channel. Kudos Kid!
Da Vinci was a real genius.
the best part of building something is to knock it down at the end.
scuba camera man
Sweet bridge kid!
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 is a little boy that will never starve to death. He will be clever his whole life
"Ken ah knock it?" Everything about that kid is adorable.
that kid could be playing call of duty or smoking pot and chugging mountain dew instead
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
@4:41: Thinks to self, "hmmm, that might be kind of dangerous." Says: "here! you go first!"
LOL... just joshin' ya. That looks like a lot of good clean backyard fun, what a great to share learning about physics and engineering with your kid!
what a cool dad! that kid's gonna remember this day :-)
That breathing makes it seem like they're being secretly filmed.......
not enough breathing into the camera
9/11 IGN
The kid seems talented.
That kid has a bright future ahead of him.
Some kids play with legos. Others play with marvelous inventions by great people in history.
DUDE THOSE ARE SOME SICK CAPRIS MAN!! Also the bridge is neat I guess
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 project! awesome parenting skills too. reminds me of my dad when i was a kid. I am an engineer now.
How did they get Darth Vader to film them?
this kid is amazing
And, the boy said,
"Dad! I want a lever and a place to stand... to move the earth."
Was the camera man Darth Vader?
A great dad, a smart kid and a nice construction. That's a very good combination =D
kids gonna be smarter then i ever will be
So great to see a kid outside using his mind
da vinci still a smart dude wow
Great job & attitude. You'll go far in life.

It's great to see dad supporting his son with his engineering endeavours. Awesome!
so i wasn't the only one that noticed XD
Thank you for the link to the documentary !
Good job guys! Really cool.
Very cool, well done.
you clearly see who is the engineer...great project!
it's cool,I hope I can build this bridge with my children in the future
Good job kid on your compression bridge.
Well done. Great to see a young man experimenting with Science and physic's and getting family support.
Brilliant video. That kid will go far!
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.
notch near the ends of the 2x4s to hold the dowel cross-pieces. BRILLIANT
This is the best video on RUclips.
Seriously?
I am impressed
Great! He will make a great engineer one day.
This is what happens when fathers shut off the television and participate in their son's lives.
but first they watch a youtube video together
I like this Kid, VERY Intelligent for sure :D. Understand a Concept, and then make it happens is VERY HARD !!! Not many can do it... Hell, some adults still have Problems, LOL Bravo!
hear that breathing? Is that Tony Soprano filming..Cool vid
simply wonderful! great job!!! thx!!
well done that boy, very nice management technique, good to see.
That boy will make a great engineer one day.
Good job , son
