Empowering children to reach for the stars.
Expanding astronomy education through classes, materials & community support.
At age seven, I compared the movement of galaxies with the displacement of raisins in bread as the raisin bread expanded in the oven. If the universe is always expanding, I wondered, what is it expanding into?
By nine, I was attending college-level astronomy lectures at Columbia University and the Amateur Astronomy Association in NYC and had a space continuum model I built at the age of 10 featured in an article.
Since the age of twelve I have worked in an afterschool science program, initially assisting and subsequently leading an inquiry-based science curriculum.
At the rigorous Brooklyn Technical highschool, majoring in Physics, and now choosing between summer Astrophysics programs run by Yale, NASA and Caltech/MIT, I want to offer kids with a similar passion for learning about space, the same exposure to Astronomy that I had.
