Ian Schoch


School: University of Maryland College Park

Major(s): Physics and Computer Science

About me:

During my four years of high school, I have developed a strong interest in math and science. I took on AP Physics, BC Calculus, and 3 years of Programming and learned problem solving skills through the Maryland and American Mathematics Competitions. In my free time I love to work on tricky math problems, and over the summer I tutored math to high school students. Today, I am the leader of the chess club and the very successful chess team at my school. I am also a member of a strong all high school student chess team which has won the DC chess league for the past 3 seasons in a row. Regarding physics, I was a member of the Junior Engineering Technical Society team which won first place in the Junior Varsity division. I believe NASA can benefit from having me as a participant because I can bring my curiosity and past knowledge to the NASA team. I aim to work hard and do my best in all that I do and this summer experience is no exception.
