Alice Hu
Hi everyone! My name is Alice Hu, the executor of the African Lecture Program. Being a grade 10 student studying in Canada, the fact of needed education equity is always appearing in my daily life, inspiring and motivating me to promote this program. Scientific research is one of my academic interests, with my first essay published in 2023; however, contradict this stem interest, I started drawing in grade 4 and won several national awards.
