Hi there! I'm a high school student with a deep passion for science, especially biology and engineering. I’m joining Schoolhouse to share what I’ve learned, help others grow, and connect with a community that values curiosity and learning. Whether it’s solving tough physics problems or diving into the wonders of the human body, I love making complex ideas easier to understand. I’m always excited to learn from others while making a positive impact!

However, you will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in a row for "Hot Seat Challenge" and/or ""Yes, But..." Game" sessions.
