  The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don’t think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don’t need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.

  I’m very excited about it.

  Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations’ relationship with learning math. We haven’t have a celebrity math educator before!

      She’s surely among the best—that we know of!

    Grant Sanderson is my personal hero! I’ve always had a deep love for maths, thanks to an absolutely stellar math teacher in school, and it’s always saddened me how negatively most people look at the subject! I fully believe Grant’s amazing style of teaching is capable of changing that for people and bringing the beauty of math to the wider world.

    I feel like Kyle and Michael would be great friends if they met in person, and I would watch infinite content from the two of them. It would feel like Mythbusters all over again.

    Michael Stevens is definitely up there. He takes a gentle “love your fellow person” approach to things but also teaches so very much.

  Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Iolo Williams, Steve Backshall spring to mind.

    It please me that you have a ready answer to this question.

    It concerns me that I have not heard of them until just now. However, I’m getting old enough that that may not be relevant.

      They are UK based naturalists who don’t have the international standing of David Attenborough. They all do good work though, and have a passion for the subject, which is good to see.
