 Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken and today is going to be an announcement. I hit 10,000 subscribers. So with that, here it is. Drumroll please with some coins 10,000, 10k. Thank you guys very very much. Welcome to Kids Fun Science. Today is gonna be different than my last 300 videos as today is a more of a Thank you to you the subscribers right as I hit 10,000 subscribers Which is mind-boggling to me as my goal was only a hundred when I first started his channel three and a half years ago so it's been a little weird seeing that number come up yesterday and Just give you a brief history on how I started the channel was I run five science nights In my local town and I would get down with a science night and a parent would ask me how to do that experiment And so I would get their email and I type it up in an email to them And so for about ten years my kids kept pushing me you got to have a YouTube channel Then you could just give the parents the YouTube channel and they could see how the experiments were done So I started it from my local town right and now it's morphed out to 10,000 subscribers It's just mind-boggling to me over 2 million views and over 59,000 hours watched right So I've had my nieces Hannah and Amber on I've had my goddaughter Emma And one of the biggest ones I've had on it is a friend of mine His daughter Grace and she's been in over 30 of the videos and I thank all of them for helping Even though a lot of them think that Grace is my daughter She's not but it technically if you guys keep writing that in I probably will be able to adopt her so so YouTube actually has six levels of awards That they recognize right only three of them they hand out or mail to you as an award And so one I never thought I was get there because when I started the channel I basically was just trying to get to my local community and I had no idea of wards or anything But since I hit this plateau of 10,000 subscribers. I looked into a little bit So the first one is when you hit a hundred subscribers you get the graphite award So you're at that level, but they do not send you any award or anything You're just that graphite when you hit a thousand subscribers. You are into that new level of a opal Creators award, right? So once again, they don't send you anything and then my level They have the bronze they call the 10,000 subscribers. They call it bronze award They do not give you anything, but we made a paper award. So it's the bronze paper award That says this is presented to kids fun science for passing 10,000 subscribers So I truly say thank you very much to me It's amazing that I even got here for starting a channel that was just for my local town About 35 40,000 people. So thank you very much for all your comments like shares. Keep them coming. I appreciate it I there is three other awards That YouTube does honor and send out to you. It's when you hit a hundred thousand You get the silver award looks like this, but it's professionally done It's made out of silver or not real silver, but it's sent to you and when you hit one million Subscribers you get the gold award and then they have the 10 million subscribers Which is the diamond award? So I do not see myself getting those awards, but anyway, thank you very much I appreciate it Thank you for your support. These two videos right here are my very first two experiments I did on January 26 2017 and these are just a couple videos that I really had a lot of fun doing So thank you once again for liking subscribing and sharing and I will have more videos to come. Thanks
