ABOUT SOPHIE
Sophie Su is an Australia-raised ex-pat who has been living in Beijing with her family for 15 years. She started Pingo Space eight years ago as a place for children to develop creative and critical thinking skills as well as explore their passions and potential. Or as Su puts it, “helping people confidently discover their unique purpose and develop the skills to pursue it.”She does that through a form known as Project-Based Learning or PBL. It’s incredibly popular in the West but surprisingly few places offer it outside of international schools here in China. Rather than teaching to a test or simply inputting knowledge, her programs present kids with real-world scenarios or problems while guiding them to develop potential solutions.
