Podcast Interview
The I Got One project was recently featured on Ageless Planet, a podcast hosted by Yanyue Yuan, Professor of Interactive Media Business at NYU Shanghai’s Program on Creativity and Innovation. The show, known for spotlighting cutting-edge ideas at the intersection of education and innovation, invited project leads Jing Chai (PI) and Qian Liu (Co-I) for an in-depth conversation about reimagining language learning in the 21st century.
Set against the uniquely diverse cultural and linguistic backdrop of NYUSH, the discussion explored how I Got One empowers learners to approach Chinese characters not as barriers, but as playgrounds for creativity, storytelling, and cross-cultural connection. The hosts and guests delved into topics such as visual thinking, student autonomy, and the project’s integration of community-engaged learning—all illustrated with real-life stories and student contributions.
The episode wrapped with a lively and inspiring tone, reflecting the project’s core ethos of joy and curiosity in learning. Audience response was positive, with listeners praising the episode for its refreshing take on language education and its relevance for both educators and learners in a globalized world.
