About

Ever wondered what clouds are really telling you? In this 5 -part skywatching series, we'll decode the secret language of the sky- cloud types, airplane contrails, and light tricks that make the sky blue. No textbook talk here- just real pics, simple science and fun challenges. You'll even build your own Sky Journal by the end. Come learn how to predict rain with your own eyes, bust some sky myths, and turn your window view into a weather lab!

No prior experience is required to join this session! Feel free to join :)

Heyoo 👋 I’m a curious (and slightly unpredictable) 11th grader from India. I’m obsessed with space ‘cause honestly, staring at the sky and asking way too many questions is my whole personality 😅. I talk a lot, collect random weird facts, and sometimes crack jokes that may or may not make sense 🚀✨. If you ever feel lost, don’t worry—I’m probably lost in the sky too! Warning: I might go from ‘what’s up’ to explaining black holes in 5 seconds flat 🌌 You can also ask me to host sessions on space that you really wanna learn about! 😃 Feel free to ask!
