Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

STEAM or "Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics" is something I have reignited my interest in since I started watching Thunderfoot, ElectroBOOM, Steve Mould,Brains TechKwowlogy and others. I need some great STEAM resources that can be easily be understood by beginners and autistic people (yes I have autism).

If you search online for awesome {insert subject here} git (or github), you will find many curated lists of resources. For example: Awesome Mechanical Engineering Resources and Awesome Biology

Not sure what's with the link to the Flat Earther stuff, but assuming this was asked in good faith...here are some additional YouTube sources:

  • Baumgartner Restoration for restoration of paintings

  • Brick Experiment Channel for Lego experiments

  • Cody'sLab for an eclectic mix of chemistry, biology, engineering, etc.

  • DIY Perks for mostly technology engineering/tinkering

  • NileRed for in-depth chemistry experiments and methodology

  • Nomadic Nostoc for microbiology, etc under a digital microscope

  • Periodic Videos for a mix of informative and goofy chemistry from a research lab group

  • Practical Engineering for (mostly) civil engineering explained, models, and following along construction projects

  • SmarterEveryDay has a lot of good videos on engineering, but the content can also be very pro-US military

  • TAMU Physics and Astronomy...for physics and astronomy

  • Tech Ingredients for DIY engineering and home experiments, kind of covers a large range of science

  • Technology Connections for long discussions about a variety of technologies you interact with at home daily

  • The Action Lab for short-form science experiments (~10 minutes)

  • The Slow Mo Guys for cool slow motion videos. Sometimes these are educational and they do experiments.

  • Tom Scott for random science and interesting places or constructions around the world (channel is stopping/taking a break soon)

  • Up and Atom for science/physics/chemistry

  • Veritasium for science/math/physics all over the board, generally very interesting and well-produced videos

  • Ze Frank for goofy facts and videos of animals that will actually give you some fun facts about biology while mostly being about comedy

I didn't list the channels heavily focused on studies and most of my cool art and music channels are on a different account that I'd need to look up. Hopefully this gives you some places to jump off from!

The flat earther shit was for an essay of mine debunking flat earthers, which I accidentally pasted

A makes more sense! I didn't look at the poster until after replying and I was like "ah, no way this wasn't posted in good faith."

Hopefully you enjoy some of these. If you want some channels for science or math that go in-depth on subjects in a more studying focused way, just let me know. They aren't the most approachable for getting interested in a subject, but they are great for learning outside of a traditional school.

YouTube educators are the only thing that got me through college since I could go back through topics at my own pace and rewatch parts I didn't understand. I hate classroom learning and find it is much easier for me to learn independently through mixed media. My focus is mainly chemistry, but I have some good resources around many related subjects too.

As far as mathematics is concerned, the following YouTube channels are splendid.

  • 3blue1brown
  • Mathologer
  • Michael Penn
  • Another Roof
  • Reducible
