This is the YouTube channel you actually want your kid watching. Sebastian Lague creates beautiful, thoughtful explorations of programming concepts—procedural generation, pathfinding, neural networks—through projects that are genuinely fascinating. No clickbait, no drama, no manufactured urgency. Just a calm voice explaining how to build ecosystems, simulate evolution, or generate entire planets from code.

The catch: this isn't casual entertainment. Videos are 20-40 minutes of focused technical content. Your kid needs to genuinely care about how things work, not just want to be entertained. But for the right kid—the one asking how Minecraft worlds generate, or wanting to make their own game—this is pure gold. It's educational YouTube at its finest, teaching real computer science while inspiring creativity.

The WISE score reflects that while the content quality is exceptional (individual components in the 90s), this is still YouTube, which inherently comes with algorithmic risks and isn't quite the same as a structured learning experience. But in the landscape of what kids could be watching? This is top-tier.
