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.

What happens when kids do Science
Project Spark isn’t just about watching science happen, it’s about doing it. And when children get the chance to explore, question and play with real scientific concepts, something amazing happens.
