      You can be a scientist at ANY age!

      Kids are natural scientists – always asking “why?” and “how?” That curiosity is your superpower!
      So, start exploring, experimenting, and asking questions NOW.

      Formal education like university helps, but the most important thing is that you never stop being curious about the world around you. ✨

      Who knows? Maybe YOU’LL make the next big scientific discovery!
