CONTEST ALERT! 🚨
When the pandemic hit, James Zhou was among the many instructors scrambling to convert a very hands-on subject – in his case, chemistry - to an online format. How could students practise chemistry at home without a lab?

“The more experience I got from school, the more responsibilities I got at work. I started by mostly working on vehicles and writing quotes. Eventually, I started doing a little bit of everything, from talking to customers, to communicating with company representatives, to coming up with ideas to improve efficiency and productivity.”

“At its best, theatre is an exploration of the unknown. When something doesn’t work, we turn it over and over until we find the thing that does. But nothing gets done until we make a choice to do something, listen for the response to our action, learn something new from it, and then do it again. Do more. Do better.”
