Crash Course

&nbsp;WHAT IS CRASH COURSE?&nbsp; We create free, high-quality educational videos used by teachers and learners of all kinds. That's all we want to do. After over one billion views (and counting!), it turns out people like this. And our videos aren't just for schools; the majority of our viewers, around 60%-70%, watch Crash Course without currently being enrolled in an associated class. Our courses cover a variety of subjects from STEM to the humanities and beyond! Here's an Example:<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HeX6CX5LEj0" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>&nbsp;WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?
