Event Horizon

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and felt a sense of wonder? Perhaps you’ve gazed at the stars and wondered about the mysteries of the universe. My name is Meghna, and almost my whole life, I’ve been fascinated with outer space. Now, as a rising sophomore, this passion has led me to take the initiative and create a platform for young minds to spark an interest in this field the same way I did.

My initiative, Event Horizon, aims to inspire and engage young minds in the wonders of the cosmos. It offers a unique opportunity for young participants to learn about various aspects of astrophysics in a fun and interactive setting. From exploring the basics of astronomy to understanding complex concepts of theoretical physics, the workshop is designed to spark curiosity and generate interest.

By providing this platform, Event Horizon aims to foster a love for science and inspire the next generation of astronomers and astrophysicists. Join us on this exciting journey into the depths of space, and let your imagination soar among the stars.

Discover the Universe

Have you ever wondered what makes stars twinkle, why some planets have rings, or what goes on beyond the limits of our solar system?

Let’s connect, learn and grow together!

Join the Introduction to Astrophysics virtual workshop sessions, where you will begin uncovering the mysteries of the Universe through fun projects and sessions.

As an aspiring Astrophysicist, I am beginning to understand the role of Python programming in modern astrophysics (for research, analyzing large data, and visualization). If interested in Python for beginners, don’t forget to sign up for the sessions!

About

My name is Meghna Chakravarti, a Sophomore student at Enloe Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve held a certain fascination for the cosmos. I am passionate and eager to understand our universe further and its mysteries. I enjoy learning about Physics during my AP Physics classes, and leading the school Astronomy club.

During past few summers, I have had the opportunity to take courses related to Physics/Astrophysics at Rice University and Columbia University, which have fueled my love for this subject. Outside of school, I am a Board advisory member of the Teen Science Cafe at Morehead Planetarium, a Senpai (junior instructor) at my Dojo, and a certified Python programmer.

Through Event Horizon, my goal is to discuss, debate, and learn together with those who share the curiosity for exploring our Universe. I am excited to unravel the cosmos’ mysteries with you!
