Day 10 (14/8/2014)

Today, we had continued on our two-part lecture of Neuroscience. It was most enlightening that our teacher, who is a neuroscientist herself, let us ask questions about anything on this subject. Then, we learnt more about neurons and the nervous system. The most fascinating thing we learnt, for us, was how memories are made and retrieved and refreshed and forgotten. Our brains are amazing, truly.

After lunch, we had a seminar on Stanford admissions. The speaker told us all about how we apply to the university and what we can do to stand out. Stanford is a prestigious school, so we are grateful for this talk.

Then, we had our second part on Intuitive Problem Solving. Like last time, the whole process was very engaging. Through simple experiments, games, and videos, we learnt that seemingly difficult matters can be made easy, we need only think out of the box. The lecture on the whole was inspiring for us. We not only learnt more about “intuitive problem solving”, but also ourselves.

Beautiful sunset!

For our evening activity, we went shopping at the Stanford mall. We had a great time!
