An Engineering Project Inspired by a Childhood Passion | NOVA

Learn about efforts to design and develop a machine that enables a single person to play Double Dutch, a game that typically requires multiple players, with these videos from NOVA Building Stuff: Boost It. Use this resource to provide students with opportunities to investigate how engineers overcame challenges to meet certain criteria when they were designing a Double Dutch machine and see the benefit of having multiple perspectives on a team when solving a complex problem.

This video is also available in English with Spanish captions. Select “Spanish” from the language menu. The student handout and discussion questions are also available in Spanish.
