The Dyson Sphere is a theoretical energy source popularized by the British physicist Freeman Dyson. It is a fascinating idea that is present in many science fiction novels. Despite the concept of the Dyson Sphere being fictional, there is still plenty of real science that can be learned by examining this idea. As written by author Dan Brown " Good science fiction has it's roots in science". The class will first introduce students to the Kardashev Scale. This scale was developed by Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev. It attempts to quantify a civilizations' technological advancement by the amount of energy the civilization can use. The class will then introduce the idea of a Dyson Sphere as well as variations on the idea like the Dyson Swarm. We will also examine some of the engineering and technological challenges associated with constructing such a structure. While the concept of the Dyson Sphere is only science fiction, there have been plenty of scientific discoveries that have been inspired by science fiction. American inventor Simon Lake, who built the first submarines for the United States Navy, said he was inspired by the Jules Verne novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This class is perfect for science oriented kids with active imaginations.

Hello Everybody!
My name is Sujit Naidu, and I have always harbored a lifelong passion for science! Some of my favourite topics are Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology. Many of my classes will focus on the different aspects of the human mind and brain. From introductory courses on the brain to more advanced topics like the neuroscience of vision, I will have something for everyone!
With an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto with Majors in Neuroscience and Psychology. I have a strong foundation in the topics i will teach. Aside from my education, I have also coached basketball for boys and girls of different ages. I understand how to teach something while keeping it fun and enjoyable!
I have been in some classes where teachers just lecture at you with little to no engagement. It is very difficult to stay focused and retain information when someone is simply talking at you. My teaching philosophy is it avoid excessive lecturing and focus on creating engagement with students. I pride myself on making topics accessible without simplifying them excessively.
I am also offering 1:1 tutoring and homework help. Please message me if you would like more information!
I also offer private group sessions for any of the classes I offer. If your student is a part of a group and that group would like a private lesson, I can accommodate for that!
