"My time working at the Science Workshop in Hong Kong was invaluable to my Penn experience. As a Biology major with an interest in medicine, I loved being able to practice teaching concepts I've learned and synthesized the information I've learned into ways that my students could understand and get excited about. This experience also directly contributed to my work with a group I am a part of called Penn Science Across Ages where we teach science through experimental learning to students in West Philadelphia. I gained new ideas for experiments and classroom management techniques I could bring from Hong Kong to Philadelphia."
