BASIS International School · 8th Grade
A curious learner who finds beauty in art, logic in code,
and energy on the tennis court.
My name is Annie Zhou, and I am an 8th-grade student at BASIS International School. I love expressing myself in different ways — through colors on a canvas, melodies on the piano, sprints on the tennis court, and logic in code.
I especially enjoy combining art and technology, such as creating small animations or interactive projects with programming. I also love teaching younger students how to draw, which has shown me how meaningful it is to share what I know.
In high school, I hope to keep exploring art, music, and computer science, and to meet friends from all over the world.
