The over-arching goal of the program is to show how the basic principles of engineering are accessible to anyone who wants to know “how things work.” Specific objectives are to communicate to the audience how teams can work successfully under pressure to create working machines and to demonstrate the use of recyclable objects to create something completely different from the object’s original purpose. In each episode, two groups of four kids form teams that actually work under defined time pressures and information limitations. They have to create, from the junk on an “Operation Junkyard” bus, working machines that spray water, float on water, catapult balls, scoop mud, lift objects or even fill pies. The engineering is diagrammed for the audience to track each team’s progress, and the underlying concepts of the project are explained in everyday terms. After each machine is built, a rousing and sometimes hilarious competition is held to see which contraption succeeds in fulfilling its purpose.

Each of the 12 competitive challenges is a metaphor for one of these feats of endurance. In addition, there are strategic challenges based on ten character traits that are important for success. Contestants must estimate probabilities and beat the odds. Overall, the competition balances luck or fate against personal effort so that the contestants learn to balance intellect with intuition in developing their winning strategy. Narration and interviews during each episode trace the emotional growth and insights of the contestants, with an emphasis on how the experience of protracted competition and teamwork teaches both social skills and life skills for achieving success with your goals.

By the end of each episode, Scout will have moved from one level of knowledge to a higher level of knowledge or insight. Specific objectives are to show how Scout makes a good transition into her blended family with a stepfather and new brother, makes new friends in a completely different system, understands different religious and cultural belief systems, and defines a place for herself where she feels secure and confident about her future.

They are science nerds on a mission to solve a complex mystery involving a vortex and an array of other science challenges.
