For the Week of November 8th, 2026

Curiosity-provoking links to get your students (and you) wondering!

1. This is the Bailong Elevator, the tallest outdoor elevator (or lift) in the world.
2. Here’s a crushing machine crushing a bunch of stuff. I cannot believe it ate that wheelchair.
3. Tomoko Sato carves the most delicate patterns into fruits and veggies. And oh my gosh the Japanese pumpkin (kobacha) becomes a lantern at 1:30?!
4. Thomas Deininger creates optical-illusion sculptures out of garbage!
