Stanford Tour 2018 Day 8 Group 3

we headed off to the digital anatomy laboratory and we benefited a lot through this tour. Scholars from Stanford who study medicine taught us a lot on anatomy and we learnt about different function of body parts through observing the organs of the corpse. Visiting the laboratory not only reinforced our knowledge about anatomy but also made us to admire the sacrificial spirit of those who were willing to offer their body for medical research. We got a chance to virtually dissect through a virtual projector, the anatomage. We were honoured to visit this spectacular Stanford medical school.




After lunch, we had the “optical phenomena” lesson and it was truly inspiring and mind-blowing. We had numerous activities that echoed with our academic studies. We learnt about the properties and behaviours of light waves such as reflection, refraction, dispersion, polarization through engaging in various activities. We categorized the m&m beans according to their colours under different coloured lights. It was one of the most engaging lessons that we have had so far and it piqued our interest in the study of Light.



 We then had a panel talk and UGA talk about the admission to Stanford University. It was extremely informative and we received valuable advice from past and current students on the admission, the application procedures and also the interview. They shared their incredible, unique experiences here at Stanford, where their ups and downs appealed to us, and raised our interests in getting into Stanford University.

Stanford Tour Group 2 Day 7

Today we started off as usual with breakfast. However, after such a mundane everyday task, we had the opportunity to visit the famous SLAC laboratory just a couple minutes' drive away. The only word the lab could be described as was awe-inspiring. Although we had quite a hard time in understanding the terminology the tour guide used, it was still an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The metal tubes that housed the accelerators were rather massive and we were a little surprised at how much work and effort went into making sure each measurement and result was precisely accurate. The time we spent there was a bit on the short side though. We just wish we could have stayed there longer. Nevertheless, the pressed pennies will definitely serve as an item of sentiment. We had another class in the afternoon on neuroscience. Learning how the brain works was a common interest for all of us, so this lesson was really eye-opening. We never knew that the brain was divided into ...

Stanford tour 2018 Group 6 Day 2 11th July, 2018 It’s our first day in Stanford. We did quite a lot of things throughout the day, having our first lesson in Stanford, meeting new friends from different parts of the world, touring around Stanford and conducting joint exercises to know more about, not just people around us, but also ourselves while doing such exercises. Our first lesson in Stanford is about Design Thinking. We think it is very important for us, because it inspire us to jump out of the box, jump outside or comfort zone and jumpstart our brains to brainstorm out imaginative ideas. We all think that Design Thinking is very important, because it really helps us to know how to deal with our Global Solution Project(GSP). After the GSP kickoff, we were introduced to our group mates from different parts of the world. All of us acted a lot more comfortably during the first meeting of the GSP. It was a great opportunity to voice out our opinions of the g...

Stanford Tour 2018 Day 8 Group 6 17th July, 2018 We started off the day with a visit to the digital anatomy lab tour and we had a neuroscience class in the afternoon. Then, we had a college panel talk and a fire pit night with our international friends. The digital anatomy lab tour was very eye opening for us, as we never had a chance to see those organs in real life, like the hearts, lungs and brains. It builds on the knowledge we learnt in  biology lesson, which made it extra meaningful for us. We got to learn about the structures and functions of various organs. We were amazed by the complexity of the human body and the knowledge the instructors have. Next, we had a neuroscience class. It was quite complicated as we haven’t really learnt about the human brain before. But the doctor was very patient and explained every detail to us until we finally understood. Although it’s very challenging for us, we still had fun in learning about the structures and fu...
