Stanford Day 2 Group 5

After breakfast, we attended our session with Chloe Good. Chloe is just a ray of sunshine brightening up everyone’s day. The lecture was called ‘Being a Leader’. We explored the traits of leaders and mind tricks that can help us practice and foster our leadership skills. The session was very thought-provoking and inspirational. We were compelled to have meaningful conversations that we don’t normally have with our friends. Then we headed to the dining hall for lunch.

We then proceeded to go to our next class about Cancer Genomics in which the instructor told us more about how and why cancer cells develop. We also dealt with some global data on the different types of cancers and the similarities and differences between them. It was a very informative session. The instructor simplified and broke down the topic for us so that we could have a better understanding of it.
After that, we had our second Global Solutions Project Meeting in our groups. We all made progress and worked on the project collectively which was followed by dinner. Then we worked on preparing for our Multicultural Exhibition - which is tomorrow!
After rehearsing and receiving feedback for the exhibition and admiring the cotton candy clouds.
We ended the day with a reflection and a house meeting, hoping that tomorrow will be as great of a day as today, if not better.

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...
