Peter Hu

 

UDHS Class of 2016

 

 

Peter Hu is a 2016 graduate of Upper Dublin, current physics and astronomy major at the University of Pittsburgh, and one of the founders of the Real Talk series. He greatly enjoys drawing, animating, making/playing/writing music, and creating stories and worlds. Having experienced issues endemic to high school and education at large, he is more than happy to offer wisdom, advice, mistakes, support, and/or commiseration for those rising through their own formative years. With strong ideals about teaching, standardized testing, and what he believes to be some misguided incentives -- as well as a fervent passion for helping people understand things -- Peter is currently exploring the educational field for ways to improve its potency.
