Overview
- The path to spread data science has been blazed by people determined to make the world a better place
- Here is a list of Top 10 Data Science Channels on YouTube. Feel free to add more.
Introduction
AV(Audio-Visual) has a long-lasting impact on our minds. Hence allowing us to retain the knowledge better. The conventional methods of studying using books have their own advantages. But people are becoming more inclined towards video lectures as a medium for knowledge. Thus, YouTube has become the perfect companion for this.
Also, the Internet has bridged the gap between humans and learning resources. From blogs to videos, self-paced learning resources for any domain is available to fellow humans in abundance. Moreover, the Covid19 pandemic has increased the stress on self-paced free learning resources as many people are exploring their interests in various domains. And YouTube is at the forefront of free video-based learning for data science.
Since the COVID19 pandemic has left us all stuck at home, why not use this time productively and invest your time in the knowledge of tomorrow? So in this article, I will be covering the top 10 Data Science YouTube channels to enrich yourself.
Check out our platform for Free Courses on Data Science Machine Learning and much more.
Sentdex
Sentdex has been around since December 16, 2012, and has 919K subscribers. More than 1000 video and text-based tutorials have been uploaded by Sentdex. The channel is owned by Harrison Kinsley. He is also a founder of multiple businesses, all of which leverage the Python programming language.
He offers some of the best content related to python programming. For aspiring data scientists, he has created tutorials for machine learning, deep learning, facial recognition, and reinforcement learning. Other videos offered by him are about finance, data analytics, robotics, web development, game development, etc

3Blue1Brown:
Grant Sanderson founded the channel 3Blue1Brown with the vision to drive explanations by animations. He graduated from Stanford University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in math. Sanderson wanted to practice his coding skills. Consequently, he went ahead and made a graphics library in Python, “Manim” acronym for “mathematical animations”.
With a goal in mind for the project, he created a video with the library and uploaded it to YouTube. Grant creates a central visualization and then the narrative revolves around this visualization. He views problems with a different unconventional perspective.3Blue1Brown was started on March 01, 2015, and has earned around 2.93 million subscribers since then. The channel has posted more than 100 videos as of now.
His videos cover topics like Linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential equations, and Neural Networks.

StatQuest with John Starmer:
Joshua Starmer started StatQuest to explain statistics to his former co-workers. He started StatQuest on May 23, 2011and now has 313k subscribers. This is one of the best channels for learning data science as he really stresses on the theoretical aspects of statistics and machine learning along with practical applications.
He wanted to show the simplicity behind all the confusing terminology. Therefore, he stripped away the terminology and illustrated the concepts using pictures. Josh simply breaks down every technique into small, simple steps. Thus, making major methodologies easier to understand. There are 180 such videos on this channel.
