The Worlds 5. 0 Smartest Teenagers. There have always been some pretty smart  make that incredibly smart  teenagers around. Take, for example, the French mathematician Evariste Galois 1. This branch of mathematics lies at the heart of modern quantum mechanics, among other things. Galois may have been brilliant, but he was no nerd He died in a duel over a love affair at the tender age of 2. So, teen geniuses are nothing new. However, it does seem like there are more of them around today than ever before. Some of them are inventors some, like Galois, solve difficult mathematical problems some are brilliant artists, performers, or entrepreneurs and some have encyclopedic knowledge, speak multiple languages, or can correctly spell any word.

Sometimes, genius only emerges after a slow start. For example, Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school, Winston Churchill failed 6th grade, and rocket scientist Werner von Braun failed 9th grade algebra. Albert Einstein at right didnt speak until he was four and didnt read until he was seven, and Beethovens teacher called him hopeless as a composer.

Maryland, USAThere are science fairs and then there are science fairs. Were not talking about using baking soda and vinegar to create a volcano in your high school auditorium. The science fair Jack attended took place in April on the South Lawn of the White House, with the president mentioning his work. When his uncle died of pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer, Jack designed a sensor that searches for a chemical in blood to help doctors easily and quickly detect the disease. Jack, who attends North County High School in Crownsville, MD, wanted to do something to channel his grief. Initially, the teen couldnt find anyone to help him Close to 2. Johns Hopkins University to be his mentor. With guidance from his mentor, Jack developed a test for early stage pancreatic cancer that is cheaper, faster, and 1. Glory was not his only reward. Jack earned a handful of awards at the 2. Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, including the top prize a modest 7. Now, look out for Jacks next act He has put a team of cross country teens together to enter the 1. Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE competition. The goal of the competition is to create a device available directly to consumers anytime, anywhere the size of a smart phone which can make reliable health diagnoses. Devoting two of his teen years to this challenge, Jack is obviously someone who cares deeply about helping other people. We cannott wait to see what his team produces. Jacob Barnett, 1. Indiana, USASince Jacob Barnett presented Forget What You Know at the 2. TEDx. Teen Talk, it has become the third most popular TEDx Talk of all time. But that is not surprising. Jacob, with an IQ of 1. Jacob is a top Masters student, working towards a Ph. D in quantum physics. The wonder boy graciously tutors fellow college classmates after class hours he is a popular guest at study review sessions. Jacobs mother Kristine Barnett jokingly notes I flunked math. I know this did not come from me. Jacob has focused on a new and very ambitious project his own expanded version of Einsteins theory of relativity. Not sure how to evaluate its merit, his mother sent a video of Jacob explaining his theory to the Institute for Advanced Study, near Princeton University. Institute astrophysics professor and world renowned expert Scott Tremaine affirmed the authenticity of Jacobs theory. Says Tremaine The theory that hes working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics. Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize. Jacobs achievements are especially astonishing when you consider that, when he was two years old and had not yet talked, he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a mild form of autism. Along with his parents, the teenager runs a nonprofit  Jacobs Place  to help kids with autism. Jacob strongly believes that his autism helps him in being open to learning and new concepts. Marian Bechtel, 1. Pennsylvania, USAMeet Marian Bechtel. She is an 1. 8 year old scientist and passionate anti war activist. A senior at Hempfield High School, in Landisville, Pennsylvania, she is committed to using technology for good. Marian invented a device, a re purposed land mine detector, which uses sound waves to determine where explosives are located. The inexpensive device is a standard metal detector equipped with a seismic vibrator and microphones. Marian, who is also an avid pianist, said the invention surfaced in her mind when she hit certain notes on the piano and observed the strings of a nearby banjo would vibrate. She discovered the same concept applies to detecting landmines in war zones. Her project earned her a 2. Intel Talent Search finalist spot, as well as recognition as one of Popular Science magazines Top 1. High School Inventors of 2. Marian notes that her parents work in geology inspired her project. She told MSNBC Years ago, they got connected with an international group of scientists working on a project called RASCAN, developing a holographic radar device for detecting land mines. Marian added I met all of these scientists and talked with them about their work and the land mine issue. I was really touched and inspired by what they had to say. In a 2. Marian was asked about the scarcity of girls and women in the STEM disciplines science, technology, engineering, and math and what she would do to inspire more girls to get involved in STEM. She replied I would just tell them, Yes, you will be a minority. In my last year of high school, I was the only girl in AP physics  and my high school had 2. It was very intimidating, and I felt a lot of pressure to defend my gender. I didnt want to do poorly and have people to say, Oh, girls arent good at math, or Girls arent good at physics. You have to be strong and be confident  and realize that you dont fit a stereotype, because youre you. Marian is majoring in geology and physics at Bryn Mawr College.
