Congratulations to GFF alumnus Alexander Brown who has been named a national medal winner in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. This places Alex in the top 1% of all entries nationwide.

We’re so happy to share that Michelle has won the State Illinois Junior Science and Humanities Symposium for her research. This is her third time winning the award, but it will be her first opportunity to attend Nationals and present her research in person.

Last year, Michelle Wang learned about drone theory, math, and computer vision at the Autonomous Air Racing program at MIT Beaverworks. She and her team programmed a drone as part of a class project at Beaverworks. When we spoke to her this year, she shared her most recent drone “work in progress,” and sent a video of the drone in action.

In addition to being a math wizard who attended a GFF sponsored Number Theory course at Stanford University last year, Yoonseo Jung is also an accomplished musician. We recently caught up with Yoonseo and learned that she will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
