Greetings to all! Myself Sanchayan Sarkar, a student, citizen scientist, astronomy outreach enthusiast, and founder of Trishul Observatory from West Bengal, India. I currently serve as a Regional Training Volunteer for the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC), where I guide students and astronomy enthusiasts in asteroid search campaigns using real astronomical data. I have contributed to 64+ preliminary asteroid discoveries through citizen science initiatives and have also worked on translating NASA-affiliated astronomy projects into Bengali to make them more accessible to regional students. My objective is to inspire young students to explore astronomy, scientific research, and citizen science beyond classroom learning. I strongly believe that astronomy encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking among students. Through outreach activities, workshops, and science communication, I aim to make astronomy engaging and accessible for everyone. My life motto is: “Stay curious, keep exploring, and let science connect us to the universe.”
