🎓 Student Spotlight: Ethan Wei 🌎

We’re proud to celebrate PALCS student Ethan, who recently represented PALCS at the International History Olympiad in Paris this summer!

Ethan earned a Bronze Medal in the written exam — one of the most prestigious and competitive categories — where he stood out among hundreds of top history students from around the world. 🏅 He showcased his incredible dedication by writing multiple historical analysis essays and giving his very best effort throughout the event.

A heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Ding and Mr. Park for their guidance and support through IAC activities, and for going above and beyond to help students reach their goals. 💙

Congratulations, Ethan — your hard work, passion, and perseverance continue to make us PALCS Proud! 🦅✨

🎧 In this episode, meet Judah and Sam, seniors at PALCS and members of the University Scholars Program (USP), whose shared love of engineering, adventure, and friendship has taken them on an unforgettable journey — literally. 🚲🌍

Judah and Sam share:

• How their two-week, 1,000-mile bike trip from Pennsylvania to Canada challenged their endurance, teamwork, and problem-solving skills

• The planning, gear, and grit that went into preparing for the trip — from daily route logistics to fueling their ride (and where they found the best poutine 🍟)

• How PALCS’s flexibility and support allowed them to balance academics with ambitious hands-on projects like their long-distance ride

• Their work with the PALCS Automotive Club — from building and tuning go-karts to taking on a real car rebuild project

• How these experiences sparked their interest in mechanical and civil engineering, inspiring future careers built on innovation and persistence

You’ll also hear how their sense of humor, curiosity, and drive keep them learning outside the classroom — whether they’re crossing borders on bikes or turning wrenches in the garage. 🛠️

Whether you’re a student drawn to engineering, project-based learning, or adventure, this episode highlights how PALCS empowers students to explore their passions, take initiative, and build real-world skills that go the distance.
