often using materials that are pretty unexpected.

My inspiration comes from problems in my daily life.

For example,

one time I needed a costume to go to a comic convention,

but I didn't want to spend too much money,

so I made my own ...

with a light-up crown and skirt.

(Laughter)

Another time,

I was devastated because my favorite mobile game,

Flappy Bird,

was being taken off the app store.

(Laughter)

So I was faced with the dilemma

to either never update my phone or never play Flappy Bird again.

(Laughter)

Unhappy with both options,

I did the only thing that made sense to me.

I made a physical version of Flappy Bird

that could never be taken off the app store.

(Laughter)

So a few of my friends were also pretty addicted to the game,

and I invited them to play as well.

(Video) Friend: Ah!

(Laughter)

(Video) Friend: What the heck?

(Laughter)

And they told me that it was just as infuriating as the original game.

(Laughter)

So I uploaded a demo of this project online,

and to my surprise it went viral.

It had over two million views in just a few days.

(Laughter)

And what's more interesting are people's comments.

A lot of people wanted to make it their own,

or asked me how it was made.

So this kind of confirmed my idea that through a creative project,

we can teach people about engineering.

With the money made from the viral video,

we were able to let students in our classroom

all make their own game in a box.

Although it was pretty challenging,

they learned a lot of new concepts in engineering and programming.

And they were all eager to learn so they could finish the game as well.

(Laughter)
