Stanford Tour 2018 Day 5 Group 6


# scavenger hunt



14th July,2018
It’s Saturday here in Stanford. We started off with class with Dr. Newby, introducing us to an interesting way of storytelling through music and songs to deliver messages or stories to the listeners. In the afternoon, we had campus activities and went shopping in the nearby mall, where we could learn more about the daily lives of the people living here.
During the class with Dr. Newby, we learnt how to use music to tell stories and create a playlist which can convey the message of the story. In this activity, we explored songs of different languages and different genres, mixed them together and created an interesting story. Everyone had fun and enjoyed music in a way in which we had never encountered before.


In the afternoon, we had a thrilling game of scavenger hunt. This challenging activity required navigation skills and we need to step out of our comfort zones as we have to approach strangers - such as proposing to them! We also had to accomplish tough missions like making a human pyramid in front of the hoover tower, finding some unknown places and it is a great opportunity for us to discover the campus in a unique way.


After the scavenger hunt, we went to the stanford shopping centre where we spent hours exploring everything. Everybody had full bags of clothes, chocolates and souvenirs. After days of lectures, we finally had the chance to enjoy another side of Stanford life.

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...
