Mark Rober's 14 minute long primer on machine learning

I'm a fan of former NASA engineer and current YouTuber/science comm pro Mark Rober. He meets the sweet spot of containing YouTube content that is safe for kids but also engaging for adults. You may know him for creating obstacle courses for squirrels in his backyard and holding the world record for the tallest elephant toothpaste explosion

Recently, I discovered that he made a stats-adjacent video explaining machine learning by studying baseball signals and creating a way to de-code baseball signals.

Anyway, if you touch on your topics in your classes, this is a great, quick explainer. It is well-edited, well-produced, and has captioning. You don't need to be a baseball fan to follow this example.
