Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

I was about 12 or 13 when my parents taped a series from TV called "Connections" featuring a historian called James Burke. I've probably watched it over 30 times since and have shared it with my daughter (then about 8, now 13).

Anytime she's home sick from school, that's what she wants to watch with me now. Highly recommended.

Found it streamimg on curiosity stream. $3-4 isn't much to try the service for a month and see if it's worth it to us.

Thanks for recommendation.
