Maddie Moate has an appetite for learning more about the universe. Whether it’s finding out how bees make honey, how the pyramids in Egypt were built, or what’s beyond our solar system, she wants to know the answer. On her quest to discover how the world works, Moate aims to share her new knowledge with other people. From creating educational content on YouTube to presenting TV shows and writing books, she loves to teach young people about science.
Burning questions
When she was growing up, Moate always wanted to know more. She told The Week Junior Science+Nature, “I’m sure it was infuriating for my parents, but I was definitely that curious child, always asking why, always wanting to find out how things work.” Moate really enjoyed school, because it was a place where she could learn lots about the universe around her. Science, geography and history were among her favourite subjects. Moate says, “It’s fun to learn about the world and feel like you’re learning the sort of things an adventurer would have to know.”
