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.

Since 2012, Crash Course has produced more than 50 series made up of over 1500 videos, educating hundreds of millions of viewers around the world — without charging them a single penny. 

That doesn’t seem possible, and it didn’t have to be. But something happened that made Crash Course possible: your generous support.

Whether you’re a politics junkie or just curious, this series offers something for everyone. All 30 episodes of Study Hall: Power and Politics in US Government are out now on the Study Hall YouTube channel.
