After winning second place in a statewide competition, Nikhil Chand, a fifth-grader at Woodland School in Portola Valley, has qualified to compete at the Future Problem Solvers International competition in scenario writing.
Nikhil’s entry, “The Enterprise Incident,” tells the story of a NASA captain who produces a 3D-printed piece of equipment to save the first mission to Neptune minutes before a meltdown.
Mackenzie Yaryura, Woodland’s Future Problem Solvers coach and a Stanford graduate student, said Nikhil is “an incredibly smart student” as well as a great thinker and talented writer.
“Qualifying for internationals is an amazing accomplishment for students who have been competing for years, and Nikhil pulled it off the very first year he entered scenario writing,” she said.
