    As an only child for about 12 years, Origami was my jam in elementary school! Every time I went to the library, one of my goodies was inevitably an origami book because this was pre smart phones lol.
    Later I worked at a school age childcare where I was the “cool” one when the Scholastic book fair rolled around since I could help the kids with their origami books.
    Another time the 4th graders were working on compound words and one of our jokesters said Origami was a word. Really? Use it in a sentence. Kid: I like candy like chocolate bars origami bear! Fun times!

    Can you do a ‘5 Levels’ video on gender genetics? Maybe the people with elementary school-level learning that scream ‘IT’S SCIENCE!!’ when they claim gender is all down to having a Y-chromosome or not might learn something…

    Always thought Origami was art, but it’s almost like a physical extension of fractals. Very cool how it relates to mathematics and engineering.

    It’s a good thing that you’ve started adding timestamps in description, but it’ll prove even better to add them as chapters. I don’t know whether YouTube supports addition of timestamps after uploading of video, but if it permits, please add chapters to all the previous videos. I’m sure it won’t take more than hour.
    BTW, this series is AWESOME!!!!!! ????????????????❤️❤️????????????❤️????????❤️????
