When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.

Science Max: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbprhISv-0ReKPPyhf7-Dtw

Also Myth Busters - not sure if available on YouTube, we ripped the DVDs long ago. Most episodes are pretty PC but some are definitely not appropriate so vetting required.

    What episode of Mythbusters is remotely inappropriate for a 12 year old? It's a family program.

    My 12 yr old son is pretty sensitive to pigs being blown up for example but I guess not everyone is. The infamous torture episode also comes to mind, we didn't show him that one. I'm just saying that it's up to the parents.
