This project has been investigating the merits of making videos as an educational tool. As a result, it has produced over 40 publicly available educational/edutainment videos, with a total of 2000 views and nearly 180 hours of watch time.The channel has attracted nearly 700 subscribers from around the world from countries including America, the UK, India and the Philippines.The analytics are being compiled for publication, but so far, the project has found that students are typically more interested in detailed 'how to' videos, though edutainment content can attract subscribers.The next stage is to publish detailed courses on organic chemistry and thermodynamics with a view to establishing the demand for course-directed content versus quick show-and-tell type videos.We have also produced a new methodology for turning online crystallographic data into 3D animations via Blender 3D modelling software. We are currently modifying python scripts to better visualise atomic and molecular orbitals.

这个项目一直在调查制作视频作为一种教育工具的优点。结果，该频道制作了40多个可公开观看的教育/教育娱乐视频，总点击量达2000次，观看时间近180小时。该频道吸引了来自美国、英国、印度和菲律宾等国的近700名订阅者。分析正在汇编中，准备出版，但到目前为止，该项目发现，学生们通常对详细的如何操作视频更感兴趣。虽然教育娱乐内容可以吸引订户。下一阶段是出版有机化学和热力学的详细课程，以期建立对课程指导内容的需求，而不是快速展示和讲述类型的视频。我们还开发了一种新的方法，通过Blender 3D建模软件将在线晶体数据转换为3D动画。我们目前正在修改Python脚本，以更好地可视化原子和分子轨道。
