Craftory Watch Party: When I Grow Up

[Music] yeah are we ready yeah are we ready are you ready ready yes you're ready I'm Jill Welcome to our prageru kids craftery watch party we're calling this when I grow up yes yes and you're ready yes and you're ready yes yes okay we've got a lot of fun episodes for you today we're going to be making paper fighter jets catapult cannons and something that we call an Iron Dome Defender so we have friends joining us today and what is your name Wyatt Wyatt Linden Linden all right you guys I'm so happy you're here today uh what do you want to be when you grow up I want to be a YouTuber a YouTuber and I want to be a YouTuber and you want to be a YouTuber well listen we're on YouTube now so mission accomplished congratulations good job good job good job you all right now before we jump into our first episode I do have a pop quiz for both of you and for you at home are you ready for it yeah are you ready for it yes okay what is 14 feet tall 51 feet long has a wingspan of 35 feet and can fly 1 200 miles per hour you got it it's legit it's an F-35 fighter jet it's basically a computer with wings and do you happen to know which fighter jet takes off from and lands on an aircraft carrier in the ocean another jet yes it's an F-14 but you guys and you guys are going to find out all about these awesome fighter jets that America makes in our very first episode what kind of folks build and fly these kinds of jets Engineers Engineers brave are they Brave yes are they smart yes do they love technology yes yes do you love technology yes okay well then let's get to making our own fighter jets here we've got our paper you go ahead and get your paper at home and please enjoy our paper fighter jet craftery we'll meet you back here after the episode okay here you go [Music] welcome to craftery by prageru kids crafts history and your questions I'm Jill and today we're making paper fighter jets to learn about some of America's most awesome technological real-life fighter jets can you name them fasten your seatbelts Flyers because we've got the f-86 this is a first generation fighter jet used during the Korean War its name saber the F4 a third generation fighter jet used during the Vietnam war the F-14 the Navy used this it takes off from and lands on an aircraft carrier in the ocean and its wings swing in a very cool way next the Air Force's F-15 it dogfights and attacks the ground and is the most successful fighter jet ever with over 100 Victories and no losses in combat some say the F-15 is the best fighter jet of all time and the F-35 the United States Navy Air Force and Marines can all use this plane it can take off vertically straight up in the air and has stealth technology and spy capabilities it's so very very expensive to make now those are just a few there are more but I'll challenge you to find out the names of the rest of them here's what you'll need for our craft today a piece of paper and star stickers and that's it oh we've got a question why does America have so many different kinds of fighter jets great question the United States has different kinds of fighter jets because technology is always changing and getting better you know how you might get a new computer that works faster and smarter when your old one slows down well that's kind of how it works with fighter jets and America is a global leader with the best technology we want to be prepared and ready to protect our freedom which is why we continue to build the most powerful fighter jets we can you're ready to make our Jets now don't let this one piece of paper fool you folding a fighter jet plane takes a sharp eye are you ready keep your eyes focused and follow along we're gonna do this together all right drum roll please here we go you can do it you're gonna fold it over in half make that crease real nice unfold it and then we're going to fold it in half the other way flip the paper so that the crease is across the top fold it in half this way again nice crease fold it this way and you're going to fold this Edge so that it comes up to the center crease see how that's working do the same with the other side to the middle crease put some muscle in it open it back up open it back up and now we want it so it's like this on the bottom right here fold it down into a triangle and this point is going to hit this crease right there very good same to the other side Fold It crease goes right there [Music] we do want a point at the top if we can get it as close as you can Fold It Up see how that works now fold it all the way down so that this lines up with the center crease [Music] it's kind of like making a paper airplane except a little bit more involved and then do the same with the other side all right it's starting to look like a little plane yes so why did the United States start making fighter jets well planes started fighting in the air during World War One which was between 1914 and 1918. after that war air combat became common and the United States decided to be prepared to protect our freedom so we started building fighter jets and we keep making them better let's make our fighter jet even better here okay follow along you're doing great so we have what looks like a little plain you're gonna unfold it like this and now fold it open so that it lays flat just like this do it to the other side there you go fold this flap over back to the outside now this part's a little tricky you're going to take this Edge right here and Fold It Down so that it lines up with this crease you can do it same to the other side [Music] flip it over do the same to the other side take this Edge line it up with this crease [Music] fold these flaps down [Music] and flip it over again same to the other side these flaps come down there you go oh you need a little bit of a break me too want to know more about the F-35 that I mentioned at the beginning of the show it's really cool basically it's a huge computer with wings it's 14 feet tall 51 feet long has a wingspan of 35 feet and can fly 1 200 miles per hour there's even a type of F-35 that can fly vertically straight up and down the first prototype of the F-35 flew in 2006 oh and it also costs between 78 million and 101 million dollars to make that's a lot of money but our fighter jet here doesn't cost a lot of money so let's finish it up last part coming at you stay focused so we have our plane fold it in half just like this then you're going to take this wing and Fold It Up it's getting tougher and tougher we got to make this strong do the same to the other side take one flap of this part of the wing and Fold It Up do the same to the other side this flap foreign [Music] straighten it out almost there yes yes now if you have star stickers like I do Now's the Time to get them on the wings of our jet [Music] we did it all I need now before trying this out are fighter pilot glasses why thank you three two one Look Out Below [Applause] [Music] I could do this all day America's fighter jets are Great accomplishments the technology they use how they can dog fight in the air and attack Targets on the ground our fighter jets are an important part of our military and defense they're built to protect our freedom and we are so thankful for the great men and women in our military who help make them fly them and keep us safe we hope you had fun if you've got ideas or questions for our next craftery send them our way keep crafting keep learning and keep celebrating land of the free and Home of the Brave one more time yes here we go oh that was a good one bye guys [Music] hey that was a cool episode right yeah okay let me see your fighter jets let me see good job nice do they do they fly yeah should we try it yeah okay on the count of three one two three that was good yeah we'll get those later right okay are you two ready to learn something new yes all right what about you at home are you ready to learn something new yes because if you're having fun you can find much more of everything we're doing here for free at prageru kids.com all right now Lyndon and Wyatt yeah have you ever heard of an Iron Dome Defender never never do you want to make one right now yes you want to find out what an Iron Dome Defender is yes okay we're gonna find out but first we need to prepare to make it are you ready yes yes I have a surprise for you yeah I have a surprise for you you're going to need to drink the juice one okay two three [Music] all in preparation for making our Iron Dome Defender we'll meet you back here [Music] welcome to craftery by pegger U kids crafts history and your questions I'm Jill and today we're making a DIY rocket Blaster to learn about one of the world's most amazing inventions that keeps people safe Israel's Iron Dome oh we've got a question is iron to my building what does it do great question the Iron Dome is not a building it's a high-tech defense system that protects millions of people from attacks it uses Rockets to destroy enemy rockets in the sky before they fall on cities in Israel and other places the Iron Dome Works day and night in hot and cold weather and it doesn't hurt anyone even the enemy that's attacking there's nothing else like it on Earth we'll learn more about the Iron Dome in a minute but first here's what you'll need for our craft a juice pouch a flexible straw paper tape a pencil a glue stick and scissors as always be careful with these guys you ready to make the launcher okay first things first empty the juice pouch [Music] it's Apple [Music] delicious okay next throw away the straw that came with the juice thank you and snip your flexible straw so that it has a point put this new straw inside of the pouch because this is going to launch a rocket thank you the Iron Dome was created after 2006 when thousands of enemy Rockets were launched to attack innocent people in Israel the Iron Dome was designed by two companies with help from Israel's best friend America to keep people safe the U.S and Israel have been allies friends for a long time we share values that are tied to God known as judeo-christian values America was the first country to recognize Israel in 1948 and in 2017 America was the first country to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's Capital America's military has helped Israel to keep peace in an area of our world known as the Middle East next let's make the body of our rocket get your paper what you're going to do is cut a small piece on your paper so that it's about three inches by three inches to make a little square like this one two three inches and then one two three inches you can draw it out with a little bit of a pencil if you like it doesn't have to be perfect just like this three inches by three inches pretty much Then You're Gonna Roll this paper with a pencil to make a little paper too roll it up foreign [Music] and then take your pencil out I see you this is the main part of our rocket now you're going to keep on cutting paper I'm going to use my blue because you know that I love red white and blue what we're going to do is cut three strips of paper a little less than one inch wide by two and a half inches long now take two of your strips and glue two of the ends together [Music] glue two ends together just like this now take this and tape it to your rocket tube next glue the third strip to the other strips this can be a little tricky so just do your best now trim each of these into an angle these are all rocket fins okay our rocket is almost ready what I'm gonna do now is add a little piece of tape to the top of this rocket to seal it off just like this fold it over you're ready to launch our DIY Iron Dome grab that empty juice pouch and straw and blow it up bend the launcher straw up like this fasten your rocket to it get ready for the fun part three two one worked okay let's do more [Music] high in the sky high in the sky let's see how high we can go one two three I am having fun with this too much fun Israel's Iron Dome has a reported success rate of 90 that's close to perfect and has intercepted about 1 500 attacks in the sky since 2011. the Iron Dome protects millions of people in Israel of all Races and religions because it destroys enemy rockets in the sky before they can hurt anyone else that's some amazing technology that now America Israel's best friend can also use to keep us safe if it's Ever Needed what's also really cool Israel and the United States like to work together to build fighter jets share information and create new inventions like the Iron Dome to protect all of us in 2020 a U.S technology company announced a plan to work with Israel to build an iron dome in the United States in 2021 the U.S started testing our own Iron Dome to protect Americans using a system we bought from Israel the United States and Israel worked together a lot to keep both of our countries safe we hope you had fun if you've got ideas or questions for our next craftery send them our way keep crafting keep learning and keep celebrating land of the free and Home of the Brave uh should we fire this off one more time you got it [Music] three two one whoa see you next time guys [Music] all right okay this is fun now are you ready to get your own Iron Dome Defender going yes okay fill it up fill it up let's go get it ready get it ready get it ready get it ready and we're gonna do a countdown five four three two you get it ready at home two five four three two one go it's all the way over there where's yours at home that was a really good guys that's how you do an Iron Dome defender in all seriousness Israel and the U.S help each other and Share technology to keep each other safe and free and we are so thankful for that aren't we yes we are okay are you ready for the grand finale yes yes are you yes okay well if you're ready for the grand finale and if you're ready for the grand finale get your craft sticks and spoons because both of you and you are going to be a part of the American Revolution American Revolution you know it we're going to be a part of the American Revolution get your stuff ready for catapult cannons and we'll meet you back here after the episode here you go [Music] welcome to craftery by pegger U kids crafts history and your questions I'm Jill and today we're making a crafty catapult to learn about how cannons played a big part in the American Revolution catapults were the weapons used before cannons were invented here's what you'll need for today craft sticks rubber bands plastic spoons and small items to launch I'm using American coins and that's it we've got a question [Music] it's a tough question well we already know that cannons are large weapons that fire across long distances some say that cannons were invented in ancient China and eventually started being used in Europe way back in the 1100s and 1200s that's almost a thousand years ago the first kinds of can inspired Stone but during the 1400s cannonballs made of iron started to be launched each one could weigh up to 220 pounds and that's a heavy weapon to catapult and speaking of catapults let's start making our crafty catapult now get five craft sticks and rubber bands okay let's count them one two three four five stack your craft sticks right on top of each other just like this and rubber band both ends all right next get two craft sticks and rubber band only one end [Music] just like that now separate the two sticks and put the five sticks between them like this there we go once you've done this rubber band these together tightly and I just sort of wrap it around all different ways you can kind of just figure it out it doesn't matter how you do it but you just wrap it around just to make sure they all stay in place did it work I think so you know cannons were used during the American Revolution when General George Washington's small army was fighting for America's Freedom against Great Britain's massive Army the Cannons back then were made of iron or bronze and bronze was actually stronger the Cannons weighed anywhere between 450 to 1 000 pounds but they could be moved around thanks to carriages with large Wheels our catapult here is a lot lighter than that we're almost done once you've attached the two sets of craft sticks together like this you're going to take your spoon and slip it into the rubber bands might be kind of tricky that you can do it secure this is a high-tech weapon here we gotta do it right this is our launching platform so before we get this going I have to tell you about the Battle of Yorktown the last battle of the American Revolution that the Americans won this forced the British to end the war three types of artillery were used in the Battlefield guns that fired cannonballs Siege cannons that destroyed buildings and ships and mortars that were mounted on a flatbed so it could fire High across the air the British had more weapons than George Washington's Army but the American Patriots skilled gun Crews and Siege cannons earned the Americans Victory the British surrendered 244 artillery pieces weapons at Yorktown and America one Independence I just had an idea you mind if we make another one of these hang tight [Music] all right two catapult cannons ready to go we've got the red coat British Army and we've got George Washington's Continental Army and what are we launching American coins three two one [Music] okay I can't play this by myself we need Helping Hands yes yes three two one fire oh [Music] yes fire and the Americans won how do you like that catapults were one of the first kinds of weapons used in ancient times which led to the creation of cannons which helped America win independence from Great Britain back in 1783. George Washington's Army and America's founding fathers knew how important it was for people to be able to fight for Freedom against tyranny which is why the Second Amendment of our United States Constitution grants responsible Americans the right to bear arms this was a blast we hope you had fun if you've got ideas or questions for our next craftery send them our way keep crafting keep learning and keep celebrating land of the free and the home of the brave what do you say we do one more for freedom three two one [Music] three two one fire [Laughter] those catapult cannons are working hard all right all right all right good job good job good job truce right yes yes okay great job everyone did you have fun yeah yes and we hope you had fun at home too uh what what did we learn today we learned that the military works hard to protect us they do is it a good thing to be brave yes is it a good thing to work hard yes yes because when we grow up we can do whatever we want to do as long as we work hard and are brave right all right well listen we hope everyone had fun you can find hundreds of shows like these for free at prageru kids.com and thank you for coming to hang out with me boys yes and thank you for hanging out with us to enjoy our When I Grow Up watch and play Party keep crafting keep learning and keep celebrating land of the free and home of the gray that's right bye-bye see you next time thank you for watching you know we've got more episodes right watch the whole series And subscribe at pragerukids.com
