Hi! I'm Mahboube, an entomologist, nature educator, and founder of Zaadaan Entomology School, an independent educational initiative in Iran dedicated to introducing children to the fascinating world of insects.
I hold an MSc in Agricultural Entomology and have around 10 years of experience working with children in nature-based learning environments. Through Zaadaan, I design and facilitate hands-on workshops, outdoor explorations, and online learning experiences for children.
My approach is rooted in curiosity, observation, and direct encounters with nature. Rather than simply teaching children facts about insects, I invite them to observe living insects, ask questions, explore their habitats, and discover the remarkable diversity of the insect world.
I believe that insects can be wonderful teachers.
I would love to connect with homeschooling families, educators, and nature-based learning communities. I am especially interested in sharing my experience through interactive workshops, nature explorations, and conversations about insects, biodiversity, and learning through observation.
