🌟 Student Spotlight
We’re inviting new High School Ambassadors or IB graduates to write messages every week, so we can hear more student voices and IB experiences around the world. Today, we’ll hear from Wangari our grad, tutor, writer and External Outreach Lead!
Hi IBlieve fam!
I’m Wangari and I am N20 grad from South Africa. I am a tutor, writer and new External Outreach Lead for IBlieve. As you get into your busy weeks, I wanted to share a fun story from my IB experience!
In DP1, we did our Group 4 Project where students taking sciences subjects came together to explore a topic through different perspectives. Our topic ended up being ice-cream! We investigated how temperature affects tasting sweetness, cooling curves of refrozen ice-cream and the relationship between ice-crystal size and creaminess.
This experience always reminds me of how the topics we learn in school can be applied to our daily lives in unexpected ways! Always try to remember this, as it can make learning even the most mundane topics more interesting.
Wishing you the best of luck with your week,
Wangari :)
👋 Catch you next week!
Thanks so much for reading this week! We believe in you.
Sending virtual hugs,
Celine
High School Ambassador (HSA) from Canada🇨🇦
