On Oct. 25, chemistry teacher Kavita Gupta shared her latest achievement with her students: she is a part of an upcoming National Geographic documentary. Titled “Women of Impact: Changing the World,” the documentary explores the stories of inspiring women with diverse disciplines and origins — Gupta was invited to talk about her story as an educator.
Gupta has previously been recognized by National Geographic and worked with them on various projects, including being selected as a 2017 National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow, helping launch the Youth Climate Summit and being named 2019 Gilbert M. Grosvenor Educator of the Year. This time, Gupta is participating in National Geographic’s designation of November as a month to celebrate women — the November issue of National Geographic is written and photographed only by women.
