Sure, kids, try this at home. Just try.

Normally, I would have a fair amount of skepticism about an ad “aimed at convincing young Norwegians that sciences are fun and exciting.” But this is not your normal ad. In fact, it just might be the coolest video ever made to lure children into the magical world of engineering. It’s part of a campaign launched this month for Hydro, a Scandinavian producer of oil, gas and aluminum. Yeah, I know. It’d be nice if it were an ad for a wind-farm company or something, but them’s the breaks. You can see a second spot from the campaign here. Via Presurfer.
