Late-night work in lab becomes a life-changing passion

LIU YI 28, a robotics teacher at the Youth Center in Beijing's Haidian district, is in charge of running the annual Beijing Student Robotic Intelligence Competition. Liu started high school at the Middle School Affiliated with Beijing Jiaotong University since 2002, andwas among the first students in China to have access to robotics education.

I fell for robotics in high school. I was pretty lucky that it provided robotics courses. It was the first high school to introduce such curricula in Beijing.

I was attracted immediately and joined the school's robotics club.
