World’s Smallest Nerf Gun Shoots an Ant
Creating the World’s smallest Nerf gun 5 times in a row. Reserve your CrunchLabs Build Box for the holidays here- https://crunchlabs.com
I started a company called CrunchLabs, where we build a toy together, and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have a really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at https://crunchlabs.com

wait its been a minute hi mark
If only school was this fun growing up 😪

Yooo Jeracraft!
Hi jera
For real lol I’m happy for my kids however
This was like those 3D rendering videos that show scale of how big/small things are but it was 3D printing. This technology is mind boggling.
Also I live in Provo lol
Just imagine a water jet cut one 🙂
I’m in Orem, I walked the overpass bridge on campus yesterday!
If only the DNA gun would work lol
Mark Rober is a storytelling genius. His ability to trick my kids into loving science, math and engineering is nothing short of a miracle.
Bruh he makes me love that, and Im 26 LMAO. Its so interesting!
We need new generations of scientists, math geniuses, and engineers; otherwise AI will just control everything!
And salesman.. cough cough crunch labs
We don’t deserve someone as incredible as Mark, he’s such an amazing person and his teaching of random engineering is so inspiring it’s insane
you know you’re screwed when you’re fighting against a guy with not only the biggest nerf gun, but also the smallest nerf gun
Nah you know youre screwed when he knows a guy that can build nerf guns with dna 😂
@Super Sonic you know you’re screwed when the guy can build over a trillion nerf guns out of you
@poluefemusa trillion nerf guns out of a single drop of your blood*
As an engineer, watching this is like seeing art being created.
it’s amazing how Mark uses the nerf gun to hook u into watching and then secretly makes u learn all about scientists who actually deserve the exposure ❤
my students deserve a lot of credit! Lauren, Amanda, Jocelyn, Ryan and Barry were all amazing and helped make this happen! Mark was super down to earth and spent a lot of time talking to all of them – it was really a collaborative effort and so much fun to work together on this project!
@Pallav Kosuri y’all’s micro nerf guns were so cool! Absolutely blows my mind how y’all figured out how to make structures with DNA.
@Pallav Kosuri So is the plan to inject DNA bullets into cells using DNA structures? I love how passionate you are about your work, you have become a great inspiration for me. I can’t believe things like this exist, people like you change the world. Thank you for what you do 👍
Another incredibly well made video. Thank you so much Mark for being an absolute inspiration for millions of people. I’ve had so much fun watching your videos in the last several years, and now my 9yo son is following the steps and is developing a more and more engineering mindset everyday. Thank you truly.
Thanks for putting your two cents in on our behalf. I mean, two dollars. Almost.
There are now more of the world’s smallest nerf guns in existence than there will ever be just regular nerf guns.
