Three Korean elementary school students took top honors at this year’s international math and science conference for young scholars, becoming the only winners from Asia in their respective categories. Kang Eun-seo, Rha Hyeon-u and Park Han-sol competed at Euro Math & Euro Science, an annual event held each March that brings together students aged 8 to 18 to present original research in mathematics and science in English. This year’s edition, held in Cyprus from March 12 to 16, was expected to draw around 800 participants from across the globe. But an unexpected variable intervened: the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. With Cyprus located relatively close to the region, 300 participants withdrew, leaving roughly 500 students from 20 countries in attendance. “Despite the reduced turnout and the challenges of getting to the venue, our students were able to deliver meaningful results,” said their instructor, Amanda Moon. The conference is split into math and science tracks, each divided into four categories: a 15-minute presentation, a three-minute “factor” pitch, post
