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’m here to make learning feel less terrifying and way more logical. I break stuff down step-by-step, connect it to real life, and make sure you leave actually understanding—not guessing. Ask questions, make mistakes, learn fast—that’s the vibe. You can also ask me to host sessions on space that you really wanna learn about! 😃 Feel free to ask!
