There was so much uncertainty. I vividly remember the confusion and panic all the school staff and students felt before the pandemic was ramping up around the world. There were no known cases of coronavirus in Nepal yet. However, with the world already closing its borders to contain the spread of the virus, we knew that Nepal would surely follow suit. In no time at all, talk of emergency school closure made the rounds. Amidst the chaos, the administration finally decided it was best to close the Kopila Valley School even though our students were taking their final exams. The decision, made in the evening, was implemented the very next day.

When our school in Nepal closed on March 18, it was actually the best timing possible because of our month-long Nepali New Year vacation that was about to start. While at that time the future of schooling was uncertain, it did allow us a cushion to figure out the best way to get academic materials to our students.

When you hear the words science fair, what do you think of? A paper mache volcano? Or a scene from an 80’s movie? Or perhaps your own science fair from your school days? Now, erase all of your preconceived notions and pretend that you, just like our Kopila Valley students, had never heard of or participated in a science fair before. What an exciting journey ahead!

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science –a day to celebrate the achievements of women in science and defying gender biases. We applaud all the amazing women in science who are inspiring future generations with their work and achievements. On this occasion, we spoke to Maan Kumari, a science teacher at Kopila Valley, about how we can inspire and engage our young girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
