Wonders:
Share Science with More People Around
Founder | President
As a science lover, I founded Wonders to foster science communication between students under different curriculum and between scholars and the public. Wonders, aimed at using storytelling to make science more accessible and understandable for more people - It offers free STEM videos, articles and comics on 3 social media and runs high school-led tutoring for kindergarteners, and helps Suzhou public kindergarten enhance science introductory programs.
1. Game-based Local Kindergarten Science Workshops

Using hand shadow games to teach children how light travels, designing a simulated auction game to explain resource scarcity, conducting a red cabbage experiment to demonstrate acid-base reactions, and designing an economics board game to illustrate the evolution of currency...
Wonders have already designed 10+ science education games encompassing Physics, Economics, Chemistry, Biology, impacting 200+ kids. We make complicated scientific concept more accessible to kids. The goal of our science workshop is to tell science as stories, making the workshop engaging.
In some worshops, we guided the children to review what they learned through drawing. For example, in the Physics Hand-Shadow activity, we asked them to create drawings based on their hand shadows on paper under a flashlight. They turned those shadows into shapes like rabbits, crabs, and other creative figures.
Before each workshop, our team devoted time into preparation: designed original board games, drew comics, and created PowerPoint presentations... We donated some of the best activity materials to the kindergarten.
