I tried wood seal carving!

  Hold on to your space seats, because the story time U.F.O. is back at it again, zapping fresh stories straight from the mothership into your inbox! 🛸 If you’ve been following my blog or my ShachemLieuw YouTube channel for a while, you probably already know I’ve been deep-diving into learning Mandarin and exploring more about my Chinese heritage. Well, my latest mission involved signing up for a wood seal carving class, and I liked it so much that I’ve officially decided to purchase a wood seal carving kit and turn this into a permanent hobby! 🧰✍️ Fun plot twist: we didn't actually work with real wood. We got to practice on erasers! But it was still super fun learning all the traditional carving techniques. (For those wondering, the Chinese carving knife used for this is called an intou or bidao —often referred to as an iron pen or a graver!)

" Story Time: Science Fair At UNASAT In Suriname"


Hello, Story Time friends! You have no idea how relieved I am to write to you again! This is one of my stories that has been long overdue. But you know what they say: better late than never. 😥 I'm glad to be back online again! We just recently got settled in at our new location. The good news is that I now have a better internet connection! That will make it a lot easier to share my content. Don't forget to subscribe if you don't want to miss any of my Story Time Productions Episodes. I'll tell you all about what I've been up to and the new chapter in my life that I've begun. But first, I want to finish posting all the other adventures I've scratched from my checklist. The University of Applied Sciences and Technology in Suriname hosted a science fair recently. My friend Kara insisted I attend and create a blog episode for you guys. So this Story Time Episode is thanks to him. I took the opportunity to witness the skills that the students at UNASAT practice. They got creative and used their knowledge to build a wide range of gadgets. Through their creations, we can only begin to imagine what innovation can mean for the future of Suriname. I managed to interview some of the students about the creations that they were presenting at their tables during the fair. One of my favorite inventions on display was the automatic recycling bin. If recycling bins like these were placed throughout Suriname, they could help make a positive impact in reducing and managing environmental waste. Of course, there were many other amazing gadgets on display. Each of them focuses on solving a different problem. In my opinion, I think that a fair like this is a good way to display what innovation truly means. I made a vlog of my visit to the fair. Have a look and see for yourself what these brilliant young minds have come up with.
