Background

About Kyle Junkunc

I’m a STEM educator, science communicator, and content creator with a B.S. in Physics & Astronomy (GPA 3.65) and over three years of experience tutoring physics, math (through Calculus), chemistry, and standardized test prep (ACT, SAT, AP). I specialize in making complex concepts accessible—whether helping a student master the laws of motion or preparing for a 36 on the ACT. As founder of Hardwire Media (100k+ followers), I build engaging content that brings space science, physics, and natural phenomena to life through visuals, simulations, and hands-on demonstrations. I’m currently developing OrbitFrame, an AI-powered orbital animation tool to make space education more interactive and visual. Earlier, I worked as a Research Assistant in Space Physics at the University of Iowa, where I used Python and IDL to analyze satellite data and study the Earth’s magnetosphere. I also contributed to hands-on Arduino-based lab redesigns for undergraduate physics students and participated in cosmic ray detection experiments. My background extends into manufacturing, PCB CAD design, and industrial automation—experiences that taught me how physical systems work from both an engineering and analytical perspective. I also explore the intersection of science and blockchain, with ongoing investments in digital assets and a growing interest in algorithmic trading and AI applications. I’m always looking to connect with others in education, physics, AI, science media, and beyond. Whether you’re building tools, teaching concepts, or pushing the boundaries of discovery—I’d love to collaborate.
