I wanted to share this (from reddit), because it inspires and encourages me the same way Khan Academy does. If I had kids, I'd definitely show them the channel. It feels like a mix of Mythbusters and Jørgen Clevin[1].

Maybe one day, we'll have enough YouTube content to create a TV package for children that will actually merit the time spent in front of the TV.

I work at a community centre in a Canadian metropolis (I'm their computer-grant and education coordinator). I'm definitely going to bookmark this for them.

Can you link to the Reddit discussion as well please? I can't seem to be able to find it

Here it is, relegated to a niche subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/comments/fc4dw/quite_pos....

I tried finding a link to something that summarized it better than a YouTube video and decided on using the MAKE link.
