This is a debated philosophical question. There are two main views:

1. Qualia are generated by experiences themselves. In this view, qualia are inherent properties of experiences like sensing heat, seeing red, tasting chocolate, etc. Our consciousness simply perceives these qualia that already exist in the experiences.
2. Qualia are generated by an individual's consciousness. In this view, qualia do not exist in the external experiences themselves. Rather, they arise from the way our mind interprets and perceives those experiences. Qualia emerge from our conscious awareness and phenomenology.

So in the first view, the quale of "redness" exists in seeing a red object, and our mind perceives that quale. In the second view, there is nothing inherently "red" in the red object, our mind generates the quale of redness through its own processes.
Most philosophers and scientists today lean more toward the second view that qualia originate in our consciousness, not in the experiences themselves. However, there are reasonable arguments on both sides, and this remains an open debate. 

A simplified way to put it for a 10-year old is: Qualia seem to come from our mind and how it views the world, not from the outside world itself. But some people think the outside world also contributes to qualia in some way. It's a bit of a mystery!
