Hi!!!! I am Saipriya. Welcome to my world of Science. I am a physicist and i am passionate about science and teaching.Completed my doctorate from India and moved to Sydney 2 years back.

I have been conducting science club for kids in Sydney for sometime now.

With a Ph.D. in Physics and a break in my career i was left with very few opportunities in Sydney. While applying for few teaching jobs here i stumbled upon the educational trends in NSW. It was super saddening to discover that, that many children drop science (physics/chemistry/biology) by the time they reach HSC (year 11 and 12) and start looking for alternative options.

I am an Indian and obviously fact sounded shocking for me. Come on, for us engineering is life! Science and Maths are our lifelines. Remember “3 Idiots” movie??? That’s exactly how our parents are.

Donning the detective hat i dug further into the NSW curriculum only to find that children were/are exposed to very little of science and more of english and mathematics until they reach high school. And at high school they are over loaded that most of them fail to love the subject.

I stay in an apartment where we find a lots of kids.. By nature kids are curious about everything around them- right from a snail in their garden to a jet flying in the sky. They like to explore things on their own, learn on their own, do on their own. this is how they quench their curiosity.

In order to trap their curiosity and quench it , channelize their thoughts and energy and to kindle their interest in science i have started “The Know-how Science Club”. Its an humble measure to cultivate interest in science the fun way through loads of activities. This initiative is fueled by my passion for teaching and love for children.

Watch out for this blog space to learn more about science,our club and our activities.
