WOW I am shocked you remember! I wrote a book in parallel to the videos for science education in kindergarten. However, after almost a year of making the videos without an income o r a significant grow in my audience, I unfortunately stopped!

I loved doing them, I miss them and I am happy I tried it out but reality is, that I need a way to have an income!

But I am so happy you remembered the videos + experiements. The hot/cold water mixing experiment is super fun!I received lots of photographs from parents whose kids did it, and loved it:)

Is your CV available? (Or a short version. Do you have a High School degree? An University degree? Which area? Some work experience before the children?)

My regular advice in life is to read whatever patio11 wrote about your problem. I'm not sure what applies. Do we have a @patio11 signal?

Perhaps

Thanks for the links + advice, I will be following them to read everything refering there. Interesting to see many aspects of the same issue.

I have degrees in Computer Science (BSc), and Neuroscience (MSc) with two years of being a researcher at the University at the Machine learning + Neuroscience department (hybrid). In parallel to my studies, I also started my own company for luxury wedding & events planning. My company was very successful and it was my only income stream for five years. I sold my company shortly after becoming a mother.

Career wise, I am looking for a role that utilizes my analytical and technical skills but at the same time, it connects me with people online and in-person. I love content creation (social media, blogging, video creations and more).Not sure what the suitable role is.

Some ideas:

* Add a small Bio section to your blog, and perhaps an explanation of the work you are looking for in the article. LinkedIn?

* Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring and post in the correct thread if it's still open.

* If you are looking for a technical job, write some technical articles. (Don't expect to make money from them. Only some fun if you are lucky some karma.)

* Also a few small contribution to Open Source may help to learn the current tools.

* I'm not sure if something like https://www.kaggle.com/ helps to get hired, but you may get an update in the tools and also have a few recent technical anecdotes.

* There is people that work as social media manager. I'm not sure if that what you are looking for, and perhaps something tha mix some SWE will get a better pay.
