Welcome to the official tumblr for Crash Course, a Complexly production that produces free, high-quality educational videos used by teachers, students, and learners of all kinds.

Sam gets it! It’s not uncommon for the educational media industry to charge teachers, parents, and students, large amounts of money for their content. Crash Course videos are 100% free, reducing barriers to education for thousands.

But it’s really hard to keep Crash Course free! So if you're able to help out, we're asking that you please do so. You can help keep Crash Course free for learners of all kinds. Plus, you’ll get a beautiful hand-engraved coin!

Here's this year's Crash Course Coin lineup:

🪙The 2,000-learner coin is minted on a beautiful nickel silver for $100.

🪙 The10,000-learner coins are minted on brass for $500 -- LIMITED: only 500 coins available!

🪙 NEW: 20,000-learner coins minted on black iron -- Already sold out!

Each of these coins is a beautiful collector's item and reminder of the impact we can make when we work together. These coins are limited edition and will not be made ever again after 6/9! Get yours now at CrashCoursecoin.com

Pssst! Welcome to Crash Course Botany! 🌱 Over 15 episodes, we’ll explore what separates plants from other living things—and what we have in common. We’ll uncover how plants work, from their itsy-bitsy cells, to their water-absorbing roots. And we’ll learn how the very first plants evolved, kicked off by a weird event where one microbe swallowed another. https://youtu.be/WACSnwKby2Y
