16-Year-Old Wins Science Scholarship

ABC News: 16-Year-Old Wins Science Scholarship

Now, not to brag… but as soon as I saw the headline on google news a little voice in my head said “home schooled”.

A 16-year-old, homeschooled California boy won a premier high school science competition Monday for his innovative approach to an old math problem that could help in the design of airplane wings.

Michael Viscardi, a senior from San Diego, won a $100,000 college scholarship, the top individual prize in the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology.

Viscardi tackled a 19th century math problem and his new method of solving it has potential applications in the fields of engineering and physics.

Reminds me of a US spelling bee which made news because the winner wasn’t home schooled :)
