Bio
Ramya Shankar
Shalini is an exceptional educator/entrepreneur and person. Her science programs are top quality and am so grateful my son got to attend her programs three times in a row. Her program is so well planned, thought of and executed - with professionalism yet with a sense of warmth and genuine interest. It really opens up young minds and ignites them to another level. She is also very inspiring, with a lovely sense of humor and warmth which makes her science program for children very exciting! I recommend Science Made Fun for anyone who wants their children to develop or enhance their interest in Science. I guarantee they will ask for more!

Science Made Fun enables children ages 4-12 to explore the wonders of Science in everyday life through hands on experiences. The program covers concepts spanning across Earth, Physical, Chemical and Life Sciences via elementary school workshops, preschool and after school enrichments, corporate events and birthday parties. I have built and scaled the Bay Area franchise to serve 25 local schools by building a client base, hiring, training, and managing a team, running social media marketing, handling finances, procuring supplies, providing customer service, and coordinating teaching events. I lead and manage a team of seven instructors delivering high quality hands-on science programs to kids and together, we have delighted thousands of children with wonders in the field of science.
