<p>Sometimes we need just a little help to get to where we want to be&mdash;acquire a new skillset or not lose touch with a hobby we love. For all of the above, we need guidance from a guru, teacher or coach. This Teacher&rsquo;s Day, we look at social media platforms that have amplified to millions the reach that a teacher has, and gone beyond the conventional classroom.</p>
<h2>Online teaching with Nidhi for aspiring creators</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/sep/Nidhi_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>This tutorial is for those who want to get into content creation. Nidhi tells you how to start a channel, what angles to shoot at, the gadgets that will help you with different shots and also how to have clean audio when uploading on a channel. So, let&rsquo;s get started.</p>
<h2>FWS-FunWithScience for DIY magic</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/sep/Fun-science_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>The channel is unique given its mix of experiments and DIY videos. For example, how does one extinguish Diwali fireworks gone rogue or the drop test that Sintex water tank undergo to ensure they can take rough handling in rural areas. The channel also has a mix of non-science and experimental videos like how it is to work as a Rapido boy or delivery boy, for those who might be thinking of it as a career and gives a lowdown as to what exactly the job entails.</p>
<h2>Ms Rachel for toddler learning</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/sep/Rachel_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>The YouTube channel is a hit among toddlers, and many parents have fallen in love with how Ms Rachel breaks down basic learning for children. She also focuses on body movements essential for growth such as clapping and twisting, which we know from first-hand experience, is a favourite of the toddler in our home. The channel has over five million subscribers.</p>

<h2>Mr Indian Hacker for scientific imagination</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/sep/Indian-hacker_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>The channel is full of how people can build things such as a swimming pool right in the middle of the Thar desert, or how to build a mega water balloon gun. The channel could feel like a bunch of friends undertaking the most random experiments to kill time, but they do have explanations that spell out the &nbsp;physics, engineering, even chemistry behind their endeavours. With an output of four to five videos per day, the channel has over 32 million subscribers on YouTube.</p>
<h2>Lesics for engineering knowhow</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/sep/Panama-canal_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>We discovered this channel recently on YouTube and found it absolutely enchanting. The videos provide quality content for engineering students, and was founded by Sabin Mathew, an IIT-Delhi post-graduate in 2012. The one video that we particularly fell in love with was titled, &lsquo;The Engineering Marvel called Panama Canal&rsquo;, and the video shows exactly why the Canal is considered as one of the world&rsquo;s most iconic pieces of human engineering. Intriguing and fascinating stuff.</p><p>
