About Smithsonian Education

Smithsonian Education is the YouTube channel of the Smithsonian Office of Educational Technology in Washington, D.C. It posts recorded webinars, panel discussions and interviews aimed at teachers and museum educators, covering topics such as object-based learning, civic education and STEAM. Uploads are irregular, with roughly 16 videos in the past year and long webinars running close to an hour.

Based on channel data, the audience appears to be mostly US-based educators and education professionals, likely older adults in mid-career roles. Median views sit near 239 per video, which is modest but typical for a niche institutional channel. Viewers come to the channel for professional learning rather than entertainment.

The channel has no paid brand work. Brands wanting to reach this audience should expect a sponsored integration at roughly $150 to $250 per video, which works out to a CPM of $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, higher than the $10 typical for paid ads. Educational publishers and classroom supply companies are the best fit.
