About

Each (bi-weekly) session we’ll go over a new topic in Astronomy! You can expect to learn at least 1 new thing every class, do short/small presentations some classes, and even create your own alien! (Details coming soon) 👽 ☄️🌟

Let’s get our telescopes ready and look towards the night sky! 🌌

Note: I will allow co-hosting just in case I am unable to continue this series, however I will only be selecting a few!

Tutor Qualifications

I took Astronomy Honors and I have experience with it since I was a small child!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Feel free to miss as many sessions as you want! But certain sessions may build upon previous ones, so don’t blame me if you don’t understand something! (Just kidding, I’ll make sure you get up to speed ;D)

Hi! My name is Ananya, also spelled Aananya, and I'm a sophomore in high school in the 24-25 school year. I have a lot of hobbies including track and field, reading, environmental activism, debate, coding, STEM competitions, and my mysterious favorite (robotics). I love classic books (they're practically all I read). My favorite is An Old Fashioned Girl. I'm involved in a lot of organizations. One of the ones I'm most active in is a leadership 4-h program for teens. We work on a lot of capstone projects to help our community. I've gotten a world record related to them. We partnered with one of our sponsor companies to have the world's longest envirothon. That leads us into my next hobby, debate. I've been debating for 2 years as of 2024 summer, and I love it. And then there's robotics. I spend a lot of time on that. I'm very involved in my team. I love volunteering.
