Positionality

Science is meaningless without questions. I value every learner's inner curiosity as the motivation to explore the nature, the society and the self. As an educator, I see science learning starts and lasts by asking questions. My job is to make my students generate lots of questions that they eager to explore even when they walk out the classroom. I hope they can become life-long learners who are able to think critically and freely with the help of what, how and why science works.
