Homeschooled Teen Wins Gold at Physics Olympiad
Homeschooled student Evan Erickson has become one of the most accomplished teens on the planet when it comes to physics and math.
In July, the 17-year-old from Minnesota won a gold medal at the 51st International Physics Olympiad, where he competed as part of a five-member team representing the United States.
Evan’s mother, Rena, who has homeschooled her five children over the course of 23 years, admits she’s excited by Evan’s achievement and his moment of renown. She’s quick to add that she and her husband Dan encourage all their children to develop their full potential and to celebrate one another’s triumphs.
“We don’t compete with each other,” Rena said. “Everybody is everybody else’s cheerleader.”
