Kidacity- Learn. Take Action
Welcome to Kidacity where kids learn and take action together. I'm always learning about new professions and how they are important in the world and as I learn about the existence of a cool profession, it gets added to my long list of future jobs, much like many of my friends.
But, I realised that I really dont know that much about each of these professions except the basics such as what they do. Therefore, as a part of my brand new season - Season 11, I am on a quest to interview people of 21 different professions, from architects to authors , entrepreneurs to engineers and many more, to learn all about how a normal day looks like for them, what they had to learnt in university to pursue their jobs, they challenges they face and their favorite part of their jobs to name just a few!
A little bit about me: I'm an 12 year old from Bengaluru, India and a student of Grade 7 in The International School Bengaluru. I love building structures with Jenga blocks, learning about planes, writing, my dog Yuki's nose and most of all, Japan. I research a lot about these topics and share what I learn with my family and friends.My parents encouraged me to write and I have published 2 books so far. The Talking Walking Tree and Konnichiwa Izumi: Adventures in 2040. Both of them are available on Amazon and at leading bookstores in India.
I will be grateful if you encourage me by listening to my podcast, reading my books and sharing your feedback with me.
