Even though the pandemic caused this year’s KGTS event to be held online, the event was filled with enthusiasm from the participants, shown by the eagerness in asking questions about their areas of interest. In addition, the speakers not only provide and explain the material, but they also share their experiences, insights, and some explanations such as what majors are suitable for mastering the material, the use of software or other supporting devices, job prospects, and so on. This event is expected to add insight and to motivate the High school students to continue to achieve their goals.
