Hey I'm Aeparish! I'm from India and I'm in 9th grade (homeschooled). I absolutely love drawing both digitally (on procreate & krita) and on paper! (+ 3d modelling in blender) I'm an aspiring animator and have started on that similarly with game dev! I find them really interesting. Outside, you'll probably see me taking photos of different bugs or collecting sticks and rocks. I code in a bunch of languages (more about it down below) and like astronomy & legos! -I love sci-fi and good thriller movies + reading books. I watch anime and read manga! Some of my favorite shows are interstellar, alien stage, source code, wall-e, etc. -I listen to tons of music, and love seeing people's art. Some of my favorite music artists are Mitski, C!nah, UNIS, Enhypen and more. -I play the violin, sing and can code (since 4th grade) in Scratch, Gdevelop, C++, Python, HTML & CSS. -I post my art online! -Along with all of this I'm learning French (level B1) and Chinese (HSK1). On the side I'm trying to learn others like korean. I find them fun. Accomplishments- -Done a datascience & bioengineering course (by UC Irvine). -Attended an astronomy course by a qualified instructor in the field (Dr. George Roush). -Participated in the NASA Hackathon 3 (+more to come) years in a row. I've got experience. :D -Been in a workshop empowering girls in astronomy by the Dr. Aomawa Shields. -Midway at a Harvard course on computer science (CS50). -Starting (soon) a Modern arts course by The Museum of Modern Arts (Coursera). -Currently in a research paper workshop for undergraduates and highschool students- 4 months long aiming to publish paper(s) (UC Irvine again, Professor. Faisal Nawab). -Dialogue club president here at schoolhouse! I've also attended over 25! ..There's so much more to come! Feel free to message for any doubts on these topics/subjects!
