While we can’t turn back the hands of time we can appreciate and follow the emerging great young minds that are considered to be the smartest kids in the world. The new social media platform Brilliant.org find “underserved” geniuses around the world, and help provide them with an education by introducing to top educators and educational institutions. In collaboration with Business Insider, Brilliant.org has identified what they consider to be the ten smartest kids in the world. The ten names were selected from 70,000 young people from 155 countries who participated in olympiad-style weekly challenges answering more difficult math and science questions.
Take the young kid in the picture above who’s name is Dylan Toh, bored with his school mathematics curriculum, Dylan scoured his local libraries for more challenging material.
The Singaporean Ministry of Education later approved him for acceleration in mathematics, matching him with a secondary school teacher to study material several grade levels above that of a typical 12-year old.
Toh found Brilliant.org while searching the internet for..
challenging math problems, and the organization was able to match him with another mentor at the University of Michigan.
During his mentor sessions with Farrell Wu, he studied abstract linear algebra and demonstrated abilities that would, according to his mentor, place him in the highest level of scholarship offers at top tier American universities.
His mentor was impressed with the clarity and organization of his solutions, saying, “most college students would envy Dylan’s ability to present his ideas.”
Toh is also training to participate in robotics, mathematics, and table tennis competitions in Singapore.
