When Shawn Wei was 9 years old, hospitals became a regular part of his life.
His father was receiving throat cancer care at Kaiser Oakland Medical Center in California, and Wei spent hours in waiting rooms and hallways. He was drawn to the medical equipment around him.
Today, that curiosity has grown into a passion for healthcare technology. This fall, Wei, a recent high school graduate from Berkeley, California, will begin studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California as a recipient of a Medtronic Spark Scholarship.
Behind that achievement is a story of resilience and service.
Learning to put others first
When he was around 8 years old, the apartment where he lived burned down in a roofing accident, leaving his family homeless. They moved between temporary homes until they settled into the house where they live today.
About a year after the fire, his father received his cancer diagnosis.
During his father’s illness, Wei’s mother spent much of her time at the hospital caring for him. That left Wei responsible for many day-to-day tasks at home, including caring for his younger sister.
“It was a really maturing experience for me,” he said about looking after his sister. “It made me, for the first time, focus on someone who just wasn’t me. It’s led to a lot of my passion and purpose for caring for others and being there when they don’t have someone else.”
While their new house was being built, they lived without electricity, gas or furniture, spending their nights in sleeping bags in the only fully enclosed room.
His father passed away the following year, when Wei was 10 years old. He remembers his dad as an outgoing, curious man who loved learning and trying new things.
Discovering a passion for engineering and helping people
Wei’s interest in health and technology, sparked in hospital hallways, deepened in high school, where he joined the robotics team and took Advanced Placement Biology.
Outside the classroom, he learned how to repair bikes through a community organization near the Berkeley Marina. He repaired bikes and provided them to people who needed them.
He also worked as a lifeguard. Last summer, he assisted a panicked child in the pool and a swimmer who had a heart attack in the locker room.
By his junior year of high school, he realized he wanted a career that directly helped people.
“I knew I wanted to do something engineering-related, but I also wanted it to have a purpose,” he said.
Healthcare technology felt like the natural intersection of those interests.
A scholarship that changed his plans
Even with strong college acceptances, finances were a major concern. Wei originally planned to attend community college and transfer later to reduce costs.
Then he received an email informing him that he had been selected for the Medtronic Spark Scholarship, which made it possible for him to attend USC from the start.
“I was ecstatic,” he recalled. “My mom was pretty proud.”
The program supports students beyond tuition through mentorship, career guidance, professional development opportunities, and meaningful industry connections.
“What’s really valuable to me is the network-building opportunities this scholarship offers,” he said. “Relationships are something that you can’t put a price tag on.”
Reflecting on his journey and future impact
As he prepares for college, Wei is excited to meet people from different backgrounds and explore new opportunities. In the long term, he hopes to work in healthcare technology, particularly in design and product development.
“Probably the most personally motivating thing for me would be work related to cancer research or treatment improvements,” he said.
Looking back, Wei appreciates the path that brought him here.
“Those experiences have matured me and prepared me to step in when necessary and be there for people who need help,” he said. “That’s something I’m proud of.”

CAMDEN, N.J., September 28, 2026 /3BL/ – Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today announced SubieCrew, a reimagined ambassador and owner engagement program that brings passionate Subaru enthusiasts together through local communities, shared experiences, and purpose. Building on more than a decade of owner advocacy, SubieCrew introduces a hyperlocal, chapter-based model that gives ambassadors new ways to connect people, create experiences and make an impact where they live and drive.
Powered by nearly 700 ambassadors, 50 new SubieCrew chapters will be established nationwide. Each chapter will be led by a group of SubieCrew Ambassadors including a Chapter Lead, a Director, and a group of specialized ambassador teams selected at the chapter’s founding, bringing a fuller, more dynamic mix of talent and personalization to every local crew of members. Ambassadors lead events and activities with support from SOA and its national retailer network, along with thousands of active volunteers. Each chapter will help develop events and experiences that incorporate the Subaru Love Promise® pillars, turning shared passions into meaningful community action. Ambassadors will also receive special access to events, product development opportunities and perks with partner brands such as complimentary SiriusXM radio.
The redesign is grounded in research that shows how today’s owners crave real-world connection. A majority of Gen Z and Millennial consumers feel digitally exhausted and are actively seeking more in-person experiences. Subaru owners already have extraordinary passion for the brand, the things they love and the communities they call home. SubieCrew gives that passion greater structure, resources and reach, creating new opportunities for owners to turn their individual interests and talents into collective local impact.
Joseph Pawlicki, Owner Loyalty Manager, Subaru of America, Inc: “Our owners are our greatest advocates, and we’re incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm our ambassadors bring to the Subaru community. We are thrilled to amplify their passion and welcome even more new members into the SubieCrew community by creating unique opportunities for owners and enthusiasts to connect, make an impact, and enjoy meaningful benefits and rewards along the way, all while helping to shape what’s next for the Subaru family.”
To reimagine and launch SubieCrew, Subaru partnered with Motive, a culture-driven creative agency, alongside digital transformation agency Wondersauce, both part of the Project Worldwide network. The result is a multifaceted campaign reaching owners through both an enhanced digital presence and experiential event activations.
Through a new web app, SubieCrew Ambassadors will create and manage their own local events, complete with group participation goals and real-time RSVP tracking, making it easier than ever to rally a crowd. From larger flagship gatherings tied to major Subaru initiatives including new vehicle launches, to hosting pet adoptions and community cleanups, to Cars & Coffee meetups and trailhead gatherings, ambassadors are turning their everyday passions into organic, welcoming gatherings for fellow owners.
SubieCrew creates even more ways for Subaru fans and owners to get involved. Subaru encourages enthusiasts to join their local chapter, attend an upcoming event, and share ideas to help shape their SubieCrew community. As SubieCrew Members, they can discover ambassador-led events, take part in special experiences at select gatherings and connect with fellow Subaru enthusiasts nationwide.
