Being curious at every turn
We bring science to life and nurture little scientists. The Loony Scientist creates hands-on STEM activities for elementary-age children that they love. These experiential learning activities are available as do-it-yourself kits and we also do workshops. We are a not-for-profit and for the 'love for science' organization.
What we believe
Kids have a natural interest and curiosity in exploring how things work. They are natural-born scientists.
Our aim is to
-
to nurture this natural curiosity about science in the child’s mind.
-
by connecting science to daily lives.
-
To make them understand science better, through explorative and creative opportunities
-
To provide Elementary-age children access to hands-on and interactive STEM activities and experiments
-
To boost the odds of success by offering a solution that’s cheap—or, even better, free when it’s required. The aim is not profit but to spread the magic that’s science.
-
All proceeds, sponsorships, donations or sale money from our science kits will be used for buying and donating Laboratory equipment to schools or institutions for the underprivileged.
-
My focus will be to enable inclusion and target at the grassroots level to bring about engagement beyond the conventional style of teaching

Ehsaas Madan
Founder
I am a student in 10th standard in Sanskriti School, New Delhi. I fell in love with science in 4th grade and the love affair continues....
For years, I have been questioning the very nature of everything around me and trying to figure out how I can make my mark in our society. What better way than to share the joy of what inspires me....exploring, being curious and experimenting. I finally decided to own the role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our world. I founded THE LOONY SCIENTISTS with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and what sparked my interest in Science. I am a Junior Member of The New York Academy of Sciences, and their 1000 Girls 1000 Futures Program.
Besides science, I am a passionate equestrian and compete at the national level.
