Hank(and John) Green is this generation's Bill Nye

crash course is great bc something about it was so bearable to watch in class, when other educational videos are either boring or condescending. i watched crash course in my free time (cause i was a vlogbrothers fan and also nerd) but i think teachers realized that everybody preferred listening to hank and john explain concepts over basically anyone else😅

A world treasure.
"Teacher" should be the most respected profession.

What's crazy to me is that I watched CC for fun and these kids are getting it brought to their classes like we used to get Bill Nye 😂

Not just in America, his videos inspired me to pursue biology as my college degree.

Im a mid thirties male veteran, I did not watch any of Hank Greens videos in school. However I have watched his videos on my own and I am glad that the videos are being used for furthering education, mine and my sons included.

Yes Crash Course has literally revolutionized education and paved the way for a flood of other educators to create content that can be used by all. For someone who doesn't learn by reading because I am dyslexic but is more of a visual learner your content has been everything for balancing out the content I make so that all learning types that use my content are included. I am 44 and make content for other homeschoolers and the charter my son goes to.

For my son it has taken him from an elementary student who graduated today who hated school, literally hated it, thought he couldn't learn, something was wrong with him (there wasn't he just isn't a traditional book learner), to one who loves school and watches YouTube educational videos for fun now including entire courses. He gets so excited when Kurzgesagt and How to ADHD comes out with a new video and has even found creators I didn't know about to teach himself things he wants to know like identifying all the flags of major countries. It very much is making him into a life time learner who loves to learn and can't get enough. Thank you for creating this revolution and continuing to innovate this field for ALL learners.

People who provide free videos and resources to students are such a blessing. I heavily utilized crash course, amoeba sisters, math antics, etc from elementary school now into university.

Hank's smile when the host is telling him the impact of Crash Course on his education is beautiful. ❤ He's just beaming. 😊

Crash Course saved me in my AP Government. And I've been using their videos to help some people in my history class.

My Anatomy and physiology class used it as an intro for every unit and to review before the final

I work with students learning English and these are such a great resource. Subtitles, illustrations, replay, slow down, pause: all tools a student needs to analyze and participate at their level, rather than always struggling with the language part. Thank you!!!

Hank and John green and crew deserve a massive thank you for all of what they have done and contributed to students and teachers around the country and even world. Their videos have genuinely saved my ass so many times. I also want to thank my own high school teachers to introducing me and my classmates to crash course. I just found out my friend who didn’t go to the same high school as me didn’t even know what crash course was. I definitely sent CC his way. I’m hoping he receives the same benefit I had from watching them too.

Thankfully, both of the Green brothers were born with an excess of curiosity. It's influenced (and benefitted) countless people who also have a bit of curiosity.

[bcvetkov]

Beating cancer will be the third best thing he's ever done. Don't worry Hank. You got this man. ✊

[MichaelRainey]

I was taking a college A&P class when that series was coming out and it helped me pass the final. Thank you.

[miasmom]

And Canada too. Absolutely love the delivery of information for my students and the discussions we have after. Very approachable. ❤

[Mow]

I worked as an instructional aid in sped classrooms for 6 years. I have used CC when students had difficulty on a subject. It was a fun and more relaxed way for them to reinforce knowledge they may have forgotten or missed.

[Teo]

I watch them for fun. The most education I've ever received.

Crash Course is the reason I’m a teacher today. Showing it to my students is a surreal experience.
