CM Videos is an educational channel that uses videos to help viewers create effective solutions to their computational modelling challenges. The channel features videos on many materials, computational modelling strategies and tricks and tricks about the use of computational modelling software. Also, lectures on different principles of computational modelling are delivered on the channel to help users understand the principles that drive computational modelling solutions.

The channel has two objectives: (1) to help as many people get into computational modelling irrespective of level of experience and exposure to computational modelling and (2) to offer effective solutions to computational modelling problems. To achieve the first goal, the channel creates contents that are pitched at a level that many users can engage with without assumptions made on level of expertise expected. For the later goal, effective ways of finding solutions are presented for advanced users.
