Now Mahmoud Wail is 9, and in his mind he multiplies multi-digit numbers in a couple of seconds. Mahmud's family is called "Mr. Calculator", and the local press is called "Egyptian Einstein". Egyptian scientists measured the boy's genius and were shocked: his IQ is 151 points. This is above the adult genius threshold (142 points)
“Sulfates and alkalis in everyday life” - this was the theme of the lecture given by Ainan Celeste Coley at his school. Then he was 6 years old. The children watched with bated breath as the color in the flask mysteriously changed.
Now Ainan Celeste Coley is the youngest student on the planet. He is 8 years old, and he is already in his fourth year at the Polytechnic University of Singapore.
By the age of three, he was already drawing complex objects (up to a hundred faces). At the age of 6, Ainan began composing music for the piano. But it was chemistry that became a real passion for the boy.
Most of all parents are struck by his ability to provide scientific foresight.
- Once Ainan shared his assumptions, - said the boy's father, Valentin Kolei, to Trudu-7. - Instead of cars, you should use vehicles driven by light particles. Later I read an article about the possibility of using microwave radiation to launch rockets.
But how does Ainan feel about spending most of his time with people much older than him? Doesn't he want to run around in the street, fight with peers and just make a hooligan? The father is sure not.
- Ainan is happy among the students. They understand him. But among his peers, he is a stranger.

NEW EINSTEIN
Now Mahmoud Wail is 9, and in his mind he multiplies multi-digit numbers in a couple of seconds. Mahmud's family is called "Mr. Calculator", and the local press is called "Egyptian Einstein". Egyptian scientists measured the boy's genius and were shocked: his IQ is 151 points. This is above the adult genius threshold (142 points).
“When I grow up, I will be a Nobel laureate in mathematics,” says Mahmoud.
Recently one of the private Canadian universities offered Mahmoud a grant for free tuition. His parents turned down the tempting offer.
“Mahmud's abilities are a gift from Allah,” his father explained this decision. - We do not want to deprive our son of a normal childhood. He's first and foremost a child.
FIRST AFTER DISNEYLAND
Do you know how old is the youngest Microsoft employee? Harp Karim Randhava is 12 and has been with the company for 3 years.
Harp was 5 when she first saw the computer, and a couple of years later the girl was already studying at the Pakistani Institute of Applied Technology. A year later, Arfa was offered to take exams for the professional qualifications of Microsoft. The girl got a chance to see America.
Harp met Bill Gates. The first thing she asked was why the company didn’t hire children. And the second is why there are so few women among the employees. To which Bill replied: women are rarely interested in technology, and children usually go to school. Harp was not offended, but, on the contrary, decided to compliment the billionaire:
- Imagine, you were on my wish list!
- On the wishlist? Gates asked.
- Yes. In the first place - Disneyland, in the second - you, - answered the Pakistani. After such a statement, the question of her employment was finally resolved.
HOW TO RAISE A GENIUS?
- My advice to unprepared parents (and you cannot be ready for the appearance of a genius in a family) is to let your child lead you. Children themselves show what they are interested in. You just have to listen and help. I was lucky: I myself was a child prodigy and it is easier for me to understand what approach is needed. Being the father of a genius is a constant intellectual battle with your peers. My son is developing, making discoveries and constantly asking questions. When he was 4, he made me re-interested in science. Ainan is very receptive, he thinks better than an adult. It is a pity that education ministers do not understand this. In order to provide my son with the equipment necessary for research, we had to persuade the officials for a year and a half to refuse to speak.
