Volunteering in astronomy has been one of the most exciting and eye-opening experiences of my life. I never imagined that I would spend my evening helping people explore the night sky, but through my volunteer work, I discovered not only the beauty of the universe but also how much people were interested in astronomy, too.

Last Friday, I attended the American Bootes Astronomy Society’s event at Washington D.C. Attending the ABAS’s astronomy event was a truly enriching and eye-opening experience. As someone who has always been fascinated by the night sky but only understood astronomy from books and occasional stargazing, I found the event to be both educational and inspiring. It not only deepened my knowledge of celestial science but also allowed me to connect with a community of people who share the same passion for exploring the universe.

Moving Mountains
I’ve heard a story about a foolish man trying to move a mountain. The story goes that Yugong decided to move a mountain to make path to his village. Day by day, he worked with his family to move what dirt they could. Little progress was made in moving the mountain. I can tell you that after participating in the 2025 National Youth Airborne Robotics sponsored by the Zhejiang University Alumni Association of the Washington DC area and the Capital Youth Outreach Club, that Engineering and Robotics can seem as challenging as moving a mountain.

For the past month, I have had an amazing opportunity to participate in the 2025 National Youth Airborne Robotics sponsored by the Zhejiang University Alumni Association of the Washington DC area and the Capital Youth Outreach Club. I discovered this opportunity while looking on WeChat for additional programs offered beyond those of my local HSK testing center. I’ve heard that ZJU is a highly respected global University and that many important research articles are published by its graduates. To be even the smallest part of this program, I feel will change the course of my future.

This summer, as members of the Capital Youth Outreach Club (CYOC) and passionate STEM enthusiasts, my friends Evan Chen, George Wang, and I decided to give back to the community by organizing a free STEM enrichment program focused on 3D printing, electric circuits, and Arduino programming. With experience in these areas—mine in 3D design and printing, Evan’s in electronics and programming, and George’s in robotics—we felt confident that we could create a fun and educational experience for younger students. We named it the CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop, and it brought together 15 curious and creative middle schoolers for a week of hands-on learning and innovation.
