Author Information

Arjun Sarkar is a passionate high school student at Pathways School Aravalli with an infectious love for science-especially physics. Known among his peers for turning everyday objects into science labs, Arjun believes physics shouldn't just be studied from a textbook-it should be played with, built, launched, spun, and explored. With this spirit, he created Playful Physics, a book filled with hands-on experiments for middle schoolers that make science exciting and accessible. Arjun's goal is to make every curious mind fall in love with the beauty of how things move, fly, float, and fall. When he's not designing balloon-powered cars or building mini vortex machines, Arjun can be found mentoring younger students or documenting his experiments in fun videos. His dream is to make physics joyful for all-and this book is his first step.
