Event Horizon

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and felt a profound sense of wonder? Perhaps you’ve gazed at the stars and found yourself questioning the deep mysteries of our universe. My name is Meghna, and for as long as I can remember, I have been captivated by outer space. At fifteen years old, this passion drove me to take the initiative and create a platform designed to spark that same curiosity in other young minds.

Event Horizon aims to inspire and engage youth in the wonders of the cosmos. We offer a unique opportunity for participants to explore various aspects of astrophysics in a vibrant, interactive setting. From mastering the basics of astronomy to diving into the fascinating concepts of theoretical physics, our workshops are designed to fuel curiosity and ignite a lifelong passion for discovery.

By providing this space, Event Horizon hopes to foster a deep 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 Me

My name is Meghna Chakravarti, and I am a rising junior at Enloe Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the cosmos, driven by an eager passion to understand the universe and its many mysteries. I channel this enthusiasm academically through my rigorous coursework and leadership at my school’s Astronomy Club.

Over the past few summers, I have expanded my horizons by taking specialized physics and astrophysics courses at Rice University and Columbia University – experiences that have deeply fueled my love for the subject. Outside the classroom, I serve as an Advisory Board Member for the Teen Science Café at Morehead Planetarium, a senior instructor at my martial arts dojo, and I am a certified Python programmer.

Through Event Horizon, my goal is to foster a space where we can discuss, debate, and learn alongside others who share a curiosity for exploring the universe. I am incredibly excited to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos together with you!
