On September 17, 2023, AYLUS Pearland hosted a Zoom session aimed at sharing their expertise in balloon twisting and cotton candy making with fellow branches and local communities, providing valuable insights for their respective fundraising events. Matthew Niu organized the session. At the beginning, Jonathan Niu led an step-by-step tutorial on crafting balloon dogs, swords, and flowers. Then Haoqi Zhang and her dad, Yonggang Zhang, demoed some complicated balloon lantern, crown, rabbit ears, and bear. At the end, Zide Liu demonstrated how to make good quality cotton candy. Participants experienced a sense of accomplishment as they successfully created their own crafts and learned many new techniques.
