This project is aimed at helping these kids learn new concepts in science by doing simple experiments at home with guidance from a parent/adult. There are a range of youtube videos to encourage children to experience the joy of figuring things out. While, not every child is going to end up becoming a career scientist, exposure to how science works, and how it helps us make sense of the world, we believe, is crucial to leading a fulfilling life in our science and technology driven world.

This channel makes medical videos, telling stories in medicine. They are variations on cases the host, or his colleagues, have seen in the past. The main goal of these videos are to tell a story about people, as each have a unique story to tell. Likely better for other kids, like teenagers and above as the stories can be complex and those watching the videos should definitely understand these are not ideas to try at home! If you enjoy the medical mysteries that play out in TV shows like House MD, these videos are presented in a similar way.
