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.

Modern Astrophysics is deeply data-driven. Through Event Horizon, I introduce students to Python programming—not just as a coding language, but as an essential tool used by real researchers for data visualization, orbital modeling, and analyzing large-scale astronomical datasets.

About Me

My name is Meghna Chakravarti, and I am a junior at Enloe Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC with a dedicated focus on data-driven Astrophysics.

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.

My academic journey includes specialized Physics and Astrophysics coursework at Columbia and Rice Universities, complemented by Astrophysics research shadowing experiences with:

* Dr. Ferah Munshi, Associate Professor of Astrophysics at George Mason University
* Dr. Sanah Bhimani, Experimental Astrophysicist and Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Chicago

As a certified Python programmer, I founded Event Horizon to synthesize my love for Physics with peer-to-peer education, aiming to lower the barrier to entry for youth in STEM.

When I’m not analyzing data, I serve as a Senior Instructor at my martial arts dojo, where I further hone my commitment to teaching and discipline.
