At YYGS, I stepped into a world of endless opportunities created by endless possibilities. Before YYGS, I was believing that I should be one thing; an engineer, or a sociologist, or an artist. YYGS showed me the value of the word “and”, the magic of interdisciplinary works, and the beauty of their outcomes. My favorite lecture was “Robots that Teach” by Brian Scasselatti, because it showed me the intersection of robotics and social sciences, and inspired me to be an engineer, and sociologist, and artist.

UniPath is an organization that aims to provide free college counseling services to students who want to study abroad. We are trying to answer students’ questions by live broadcasting on Instagram and YouTube with students that are already studying abroad. As one of the four founders, I can proudly say that more than 250 sessions were broadcasted in our one-and-a-half-year journey.
