A Lifelong Passion for Making
Lan’s talent didn’t emerge overnight. As a child in primary school, he built military models, a hobby encouraged by his parents—his father is a taxi driver, and his mother works in insurance sales. That early encouragement seems to have laid the foundation for his self-taught technical skills and innovative mindset.
Despite his engineering aptitude, Lan remains modest. He admits he struggles in most academic subjects, except for English and geography. Still, his hands-on passion has only grown stronger over time.
Lan’s story echoes a larger trend: with technologies like 3D printing becoming increasingly accessible, more young minds are stepping into the maker space and redefining who gets to innovate.
