How to Build Everything
TV Show · Reality

`How to Build... Everything' requires a ton of curiosity, a healthy dose of awe and a sense of humor. Half-hour episodes break down the processes behind some of humanity's greatest modern-day inventions. From an Apache helicopter to a hovercraft, a cruise ship or a satellite, each episode features three machines as part of a tongue-in-cheek instruction manual. Augmented with CGI, commentators including former airplane mechanic Alonzo Bodden, science communicator and bug expert Alie Ward, tech expert and futurist Veronica Belmont, mad inventor Eric Gradman, and astronaut Leland Melvin take viewers through each build, while a retro-style test lab demonstrates scientific concepts.
