Gever Tulley koristi atraktivne fotografije i snimke kako bi demonstrirao vredne lekcije koje deca uče u njegovoj školi "Klikeraša". Kada im je dat alat, materijali i vođstvo, mašta ovih mališana buja i iz nje se rađaju kreativna rešenja problema kojima grade jedinstvene čamce, mostove ili čak bregovite železnice.
