Visiting Expert Q&A by Mr. H https://padlet.com/ghaydu1/v3z0t5g1z8sy We are fortunate to have Mr. Leon Cai join our robotics teams this Thursday. It’s important for us to prepare in order to make the most of our time together. Carefully craft and post your questions here. Include your name and team number. Watch out for duplicates so that we don’t ask the same question twice! If you see a question that your group would also like answered, give it a “thumbs up.” If it’s a question that may not be helpful to ask this particular expert (keep in mind his background), then give it a respectful “thumbs down” and explain why. Perhaps those questions can be saved for a different expert. en-us 2019-10-29 07:24:39 UTC 2025-10-12 13:56:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2753.png Information from Mr. Leon Cai ghaydu1 https://padlet.com/ghaydu1/v3z0t5g1z8sy/wish/403726429 “I studied the city planning in Tongji university as my major in 1984-1988. and I had practiced the design of city planning in Shanghai for 5 years.
