Education Week – Jessica Brown
“An Ohio 10-year-old made history this week, by becoming the youngest student ever to win the national You Be The Chemist Challenge. Daniel Liu, a 7th grader at Ottawa Hills Junior High School in Ottawa Hills, Ohio, took home the title June 22…The You Be The Chemist Challenge is a quiz-bowl-style competition for students in grades 5-8. Nearly 40,000 students participated at the local and state levels this year. Liu was among 36 to advance to the national competition, which included 11 rounds of chemistry questions…Organizers hope the event will prompt more students to enter science-related careers.”(more)
