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.

Kurzgesagt, PBS Spacetime, and Rational Animations are always fun, and quite accessible to children. I’m not sure where gender comes into it though
