Most people dread learning chemistry. From positive and negative ions, to oxidization and other reactions, chemistry is a daunting field to master. However, 14 year old Anshul Samar has decided to change the reputation and stigma surrounding this subject. The interesting part of the whole matter is the fact that Samar is overhauling the way we learn through an interactive game, “Elementeo”. Elementeo is a card based game made for two players. Different aspects of chemistry such as reactions and electron exchange are implemented, and help teach the player about the basics.
This innovative design was created out of Samar’s desire to show that kids can have a successful business of their own, and at any age. Not only is Samar on the verge of receiving a $500,000 investment to mass produce his card game, but other chemists are viewing his creation as extremely influential.
The general premise of his Anshul Samar’s business is quite ingenious, but it is even more remarkable that he has done all of this at the age of 14. Especially, that he has grasped a concept such as chemistry so well that he is in the process of teaching people all over the globe, through his game, Elementeo. Here is a prime example of someone using both left and right brain to create something amazing that can have a significant impact on the way that knowledge is passed on.

It is really amazing how smart this kid is, but it is even more impressive that he has chosen to use his intellectual gift to help others! This card game will definitely be very successful because parents and teachers are always looking for ways to make learning more fun.
This could be huge for teachers or home-schooling parents. It makes the subject of chemistry, which can be complicated by nature, relatable to kids.
It’s also remarkable that 14-year-old has mastered chemistry enough to produce a card game of it to teach other kids!
Good idea from such a young individual and great application of the left and right brain concepts into his idea.
