  • Cynthia Lin

    Cynthia completed the Curious Minds Program last year, she is now in year 11, studying Biology, Physics, and Specialist Math.

    The fields of science and mathematics had always greatly interested me throughout school. Attending Curious Minds introduced me to the concept of STEM and its possible future, and thus a strong passion for it was ignited in my heart. I began to desire more scientific knowledge, which led me down the path of the foundations of medicine and healthcare.
