Our research shows that the lack of education in rural areas is actually not the hardware, as many philanthropists donate basic facilities such as whiteboards, classroom tables and chairs, reading rooms, and plastic running tracks every year.

Therefore, as college students, we want to try our best to help rural left-behind students see the wider world through organzing this interesting summer camp.]]> 2021-05-31 08:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mmei5_2/g0poa5n4im2dl0nj/wish/1573199195 mmei5_2 https://padlet.com/mmei5_2/g0poa5n4im2dl0nj/wish/1573231295 We hold virtual meetings through Zoom regularly to go over rubrics for class design and check group members' progress. ]]> 2021-05-31 09:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mmei5_2/g0poa5n4im2dl0nj/wish/1573231295 mmei5_2 https://padlet.com/mmei5_2/g0poa5n4im2dl0nj/wish/1573233310 1 Captain
