Here are Smarter Every Day, we've decided to change the format and make learning very very serious. And by serious I mean... [Thump, splash] - Seriously awesome! [Crowd yells] [Crowd laughs]

(Destin) Alright, today we're gonna learn about mud in Africa. They build houses out of mud. I went to Africa. Let's talk about it.

(Destin) I don't know. I don't know when I can come back.

(Man) We're glad to have you to come back. - Thank you. - Yeah. You come, we can make house me and you. - Oh yeah. And we'll live in the house. - Yeah. We'll call it King of Dragons' house. - Yeah. And Destin. - And Destin. [Laughs]

(Destin) So burlap? - Yeah. - Okay. - You see? - Yeah. - Oh no. You're picking all that up? - Yes sir, no problem. - Ugh. King of Dragons. Nothing for the King of Dragons. - He's my younger brother. - Oh. He's very helpful. - Yeah, he's very strong. [Foreign language] - Do you need the shovel? Oh, only with your hands. - Only with your hands, yeah. - Are hands better? - Yeah. Hand is better for this one. When you're making blocks you use your hands. - Why? Why do you use your hands? - Because hands can make this all. If you want to make blocks here, this type of blocks... - Yes. - Once you make block you use, so... - Yes. You see? When you put it inside, you remove it. Now, [unintelligible]. - Yeah? When you get-- when it get full... - Yeah? - Yeah, mm-hmm. - Does it hurt your hands? - No. [Unintelligible] ...my hand.

(Destin) Doesn't straw make it stronger? - Yeah, this one holds [unintelligible]. - You don't need straw. - No. - That's a lot of blocks. - 440 blocks, maybe. - 440? - Yeah.

(King of Dragons) 35 cm. - So it's twice as long as it is wide. - Yeah. Is very nice? - Very nice. - You love it. - I do. Thank you, Ishmella. Thank you.

(Destin) Yeah, Matt just chipped a tooth. Spearing me in the mud. Totally worth it. Was it worth it? - It was totally worth it. [Destin laughs] - Thanks, Matt. - You're welcome.

[Music] ...Feedback loops, so you have to know your position and where your relative motion is going, so you can compensate for it. Well, chickens are really good at this, so... I'll show you.
