Pizza, hugs, and a first-of-its-kind STEM exchange: Taipei students said farewell to their Seattle-area hosts

Students at Mountlake Terrace High School ended a week of firsts with a pizza party on 30 October, saying goodbye to 15 visiting students from Taipei Municipal Songshan High School in Taiwan. It was the schools' first STEM exchange, hosted by study-abroad organiser Go 2 Seattle Study, whose founder Kelly Hsu helps Taiwanese schools build lasting partnerships — and formal agreements — with schools in the USA. The organiser marked the week with a $2,000 gift to Mountlake Terrace High. The plan, both sides say, is for this visit to be the first of many.
