Founded as NerdyAndQuirky, the channel began as a place for curious ideas about lifestyle. In 202t became a project with the aim of promoting learning as part of everyday life, since its creators left university jaded and missing their feeling of curiosity.

==History==
Sabrina Cruz began her own journey on YouTube in January 2012 at the age of 13, first launching the channel NerdyAndQuirky (which would become Answer in Progress in 2020), then launching the channel TheSeriousBiscuit that August. Sabrina's first ever video was of herself eating a cookie for 11 minutes, and it - like every video on TheSeriousBiscuit and early NerdyAndQuirky videos - was removed from YouTube. Early works on TheSeriousBiscuit included original music, sketches and short films. She would quickly move on to NerdyAndQuirky as her main channel. Her persistence in making videos came in part because connecting with people online was easier than connecting with her peers at school.
NerdyAndQuirky would be the home for a wide range of genres including entertaining and often thought-provoking vlogs, videos which concern important current topics like feminism, YouTube culture and bodyshaming, and videos concerning her life in general. This included a series of videos on the channel titled Cool History. Her body of work at the time was largely inspired by the Vlog Brothers John and Hank Green, and Charlie McDonnell. 
After being chosen as one of the winners of the Vlog Brothers' Nerd Factor contest, she would fill in for John Green during his paternity leave on July 16, 2013. John Green would also describe NerdyAndQuirky as "one of the best YouTubers [he had] come across in years". Two years later, Sabrina would be brought on board by the Vlog Brothers as the host of Crash Course Kids, a companion series to the educational channel Crash Course funded by YouTube's $100 million original channel initiative. The channel would run from March 3, 2015 to March 16, 2016. 
In 2017, she would be nominated in the Breakout YouTuber category at the 9th Shorty Awards.
==Collaborations and features==
As an individual creator, Sabrina collaborated with the Vlog Brothers to host the educational series Crash Course Kids in 2015.
Answer in Progress produced the short series History Remade with Sabrina in collaboration with History, publishing six episodes between October and December 2021.
In summer 2023, she joined Study Hall - a joint project between Crash Course, YouTube and Arizona State University which provides foundational courses to help university students on their path to graduation - as the host of the Code and Programming for Beginners series.
Featured guests on the Answer in Progress channel include Tom Scott, and Peter Musser of the channel Stacks & Facts, in the video "Why Semicolons are Hard to Use" where they were inquired about their opinion on English punctuation. The vlogger AmandaRachLee was featured in "why you can't stay organized", a video regarding the effectiveness of bullet journaling. Taeha Types and Glarses, both experts in mechanical keyboards, were featured in a video by Taha titled "inside the world of mechanical keyboards".
Sabrina would appear in Tom Scott's channel as one of the subjects for the video "I asked an AI for video ideas for other YouTubers. It went badly.".
