Exciting news from the International Research Olympiad (IRO). The International Research Olympiad (IRO) is dedicated to honing analytical and critical thinking skills for student researchers—essential in scientific exploration. The practical applications of knowledge and big-picture thinking are tested, allowing students to walk away with a deeper passion for scientific inquiry and engineering.
Ameya Shirguppe, a student from Round Rock High School, has made the school proud by securing a finalist position at the IRO Finals held at Harvard University.
