About the Founder
My name is Dr. Azadeh Samadani and I am passionate about teaching physics and math to younger kids. I have been a researcher at MIT, an assistant professor of physics at Brandeis University, and a high school science teacher at Pingry School. Nothing interests me more than seeing the sparks of curiosity in the eyes of the younger ones. When the world is all wonders and learning is wonderful.
