Hello, I am in year 5 and will turn 10 years old next month. I would like to know if there is any competition or a talk show or any medium by which I can showcase my knowledge in science , especially in physics as I am quite interested and have a good knowledge in this subject . I am very good at explaining topics in physics.
Sure!
There are plenty of science shows or morning breakfast programs where kids can showcase their knowledge (use a search engine to find one in your country).
Otherwise, consider submitting a TED talk – you can see examples of students running TED talks here
