Interdisciplinary Learning · Critical Thinking · Communication · Reflection
Alan Jihoon Choi’s academic journey has been shaped by the Minerva Baccalaureate approach to interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and reflection.
Through MBacc coursework, Alan has learned to connect ideas across science, history, literature, culture, social-emotional learning, and real-world problem-solving.
This learning foundation helps explain why his portfolio does not remain in one narrow field. His work connects biomedical research, robotics, AI, environmental issues, puzzles, coding, and music.
Why MBacc Matters to Alan
MBacc helped Alan practice asking questions, evaluating evidence, explaining ideas clearly, and reflecting on the impact of his choices.
Critical Thinking and Evidence
Alan often begins with articles, books, scientific papers, or real-world problems, then develops his own response through research, design, or experimentation.
Interdisciplinary Learning
His projects cross subject boundaries: antibiotic-resistance research connects biology and robotics; OCEAN SPY connects AI and marine ecology; puzzles connect mathematics and cognition; music connects rhythm, structure, emotion, and digital tools.
Communication and Reflection
Through writing, presentations, group projects, and competitions, Alan has practiced explaining complex ideas clearly and reflecting on how his work can improve.
