One reason I am so bullish on the future of YouTube for helping kids learn is the fabulous accessibility you can get to watch high quality, professionally produced content that previously, you would have had to stand in line for, pay an admission ticket, or wait for a TV special. (I am also a huge fan of the more amateur-sourced content but we will talk about that in a future post).
The team at NASA has put together a great set of videos covering a broad range of topics : the importance of geometry, what’s up the sun, the 50 year history of this famous government agency, what the future of space exploration might look like, etc.
While some of the videos are clearly directed to teens, we think the fascination of space starts pretty young. We’ve added this to the 6+ age groups, in the Learn category. Enjoy and let us know what your favorites were.
