About Me and My Project

Every great mind begins with a spark

Hello! I’m Aryan, a 17-year-old, 12th-grade student who absolutely loves Math and Physics. Everywhere I go, people tell me these subjects are “too hard” or “only for geniuses.” I disagree. I’ve seen how a simple question can light up a child’s face when they connect a concept to something in their world. That spark of curiosity is what led me to start Project Spark—to remove the fear of Math and Physics by showing middle schoolers how these ideas power everyday life.

The Mission -
Igniting curiosity, one experiment at a time

  • Bridge the Education Gap: Bring hands-on STEM learning to underprivileged communities that lack practical tools.
  • Demystify “Tough” Subjects: Show kids that Math and Physics aren’t scary—they’re keys to understanding the world around them.
  • Make Science Accessible: Redesign common experiments using simple household materials, ensuring every child can explore at home. Also provide this digital platform with free downloads to ensure Project Spark overcomes physical barriers.

Moments of Pride

20+ schools in 7 ngos and 5 cities including a mainstream school in Nagpur

700+ kids directly taught, 4500 books and 100 kits distributed impacting 5000+ children

Raised Rs 1,55,000 through fundraiser for experiment books and kits

Coverage and recognition in major publications Mid Day, Dainik Bhaskar, Free Press Journal and Brainfeed Magazine

Received The Rochester Institute of Technology Math and Science Award for Project Spark 96,000 USD

Conducted a Project Spark Workshop at the prestigious Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai

Dinesh Vyas Trust invested in 151 kits for 2 schools in Worli. Books were translated into Hindi for one school

Bringing Science to Life

01

Immersive NGO Workshop

  • Since September 2024, I have run in-person Science sessions for nearly 700 underprivileged children at our NGO partner schools
  • Many community centres don’t have lab equipment—so I redesigned classic experiments (like circuits, pendulums etc) using foil, erasers, balloons and other everyday items.

02

Interactive Textbooks & Kits

Every participant receives a full colour booklet packed with:

  • Step-by-step experiments using household materials
  • Real-life applications and fun facts
  • Thought provoking questions to deepen understanding
  • QR codes linking to detailed YouTube demos

03

YouTube Channel

  • I have published short, engaging videos demonstrating each experiment—no fancy lab required!
  • Scanning the booklet’s barcode takes kids straight to the video, so they can learn at home or share with friends.

The Spark Behind Project Spark

Physics and Math often carry an unfortunate reputation- they're seen as difficult, boring or ‘not for everyone.’ As someone who absolutely loves both subjects, I couldn’t ignore how common this feeling was. Whether it was friends at school or kids I met while volunteering, I saw many students give up on Science and Math simply because they were afraid of it, or because it felt too abstract and disconnected from everyday life.

My Journey with NGO Classrooms

When I first started Project Spark, my goal was simple- make Math and Physics fun and relatable for kids, especially those who didn’t have access to labs and resources. But getting started wasn’t easy. As a 17-year-old student, I didn’t exactly look like a typical ‘Science educator’- so I reached out to NGOs with a little help from my mom.
