Terry-Support
Hello, I'm Terry Kuo. I'm an 11th-grade student at Washington High School. I enjoy solving math problems in Mr. Smith's class. Outside of school, I love playing the piano. Playing piano helps me express feelings and creativity, while solving math problems challenges me to think logically. I believe that both passions help me approach science with both imagination and precision, especially in doing an iGEM project where creativity and logic come together.

Beckham-Support
Hello, my name is Beckham, yes, you read that right. I am not good at any form of socializing because I am just not good at it. As all Asian students do, I play both badminton and table tennis. I think I enjoy playing these sports because I have mild ADHD, and running around in a small area satisfies me a lot. I am not very interested in biology but in math, so I prefer doing calculations or analyzing data. I am also addicted to 3c products. One of my hobbies is building models, actually, that is my only hobby. I like building models since they can improve my sleep quality.
