Group 4 Day 5



This morning, our group had a ‘message in music’ lesson.  One of our most fascinating activities in class was to annotate a song chosen by the other group, in which the song represents the Stanford University. Through this group work, we realized that there could be a hidden story behind every song, and it was crucial for us to discover those meaningful stories through music by ourselves.

In the afternoon, we had a scavengers’ hunt in the Stanford campus. Through this exhausting but enjoyable outdoor activity, we learnt to be persistent and realized the importance of teamwork in order to complete as our missions. Afterwards, we did some shopping in the Stanford Shopping centre and played dodge ball. We had a wonderful time buying souvenirs and had lots of fun in playing sport games with our dearest friends. Today was really rewarding and enjoyable!

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

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

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...
