In this funny video, science teacher and YouTuber Jacob Strickling invents a funny hack after his students fail to interact with him during his online Zoom lessons.

Jacob prints out a yellow thumbs up and sticks it to the end of wooden dowel with some duct tape. A rivet drilled into a motorised wheel is then poked through the end of the dowel.

Now Jacob is able to give himself a thumbs up with his motorised contraption. Brilliant!

The clip was recorded in Jacob's New South Wales home on Tuesday (April 7).

In this funny video, Jacob Strickling, Science Teacher and YouTuber (YouTube Channel 'Make Science Fun') is disappointed that his online students are not giving him any reactions throughout his Zoom online classes. Strickling is feeling a bit despondent about the situation and then he has his genius idea.
He first prints out a yellow thumbs up on a piece of paper and sticks it to the end of a length of wooden dowel with some duct tape. A rivet drilled into a motorised wheel is then poked through the end of the dowel. The whole setup is put into place using a stool, pipe and retort stand.
When he teaches a class Strickling is able to give himself his own thumbs with his motorised contraption. Brilliant!
