In the footsteps of child geniuses
February 8th, 2007 by Zsofia
Tonight, Britain’s Channel 4 is launching a new documentary series on children who were born with extraordinary IQ levels. Trying out a unique new format, the producers behind Child Genius will follow the children as they develop over the coming years, and will air one episode every year.
Among the selected children are 10-year old Aimee, who was the youngest person ever to be admitted to the Royal College of Music, and 11-year-old Michael who was reading Shakespeare and learning Mandarin when he was 5. Yesterday’s Guardian ran a great interview with Michael, who has just delivered his third fantasy novel to publishers.
