Petits Génies

CONCEPT

Twenty children aged 9 to 12 participate in a specialised knowledge competition. First because all these children have an IQ superior to 130 (only 2,5% of the population would be in this category).

The laureate will permit his or her college to win €20 000 to use for an educational project.
The programme “Petits Génies” sponsored by an international organisation which helps develop high potential people (MENSA), doesn’t just highlight the competition as we will also discover the children’s families and backgroundS. Specialists will analyse the children’s life, their success and difficulties in everyday life…
