Robert Kao, a freshman at E.O. Smith High School, has qualified to compete for one of four spots on the U.S. team bound for the 45th International Chemistry Olympiad.

This year, the International Chemistry Olympiad will be held in Moscow, Russia, from July 15-24.

Kao will spend two weeks at an intensive chemistry study camp at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, and at the conclusion, the top four students will be named as members of the team.

The competition to be part of the international event is fierce, beginning with a three-part exam taken by at least 12,000 high school students in the U.S.
