COLUMBUS, Ind. – Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Education announced last week the four new members of the 2022 Governor’s STEM Team, which honors outstanding high school students for their exceptional efforts and accomplishments in science, technology, engineering, or math. One of the honorees was Columbus North High School senior Matthew Liu, who represents the math category.
Throughout high school, Matthew has taken three dual credit mathematics courses at Ball State University and several others outside of the STEM field. His research experience while in high school includes serving as a research assistant at the Morehouse School of Medicine and completing his first-authored paper while interning at Pioneer Academics Research. This fall, he plans to study chemistry.
Each student selected receives a $1,000 scholarship deposit into an Indiana CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings plan, and a letterman jacket identifying them as members of the Governor’s STEM Team.
In addition to Liu, two other Columbus North students received honorable mentions: Rishi Rao (Science) and Evan Carr (Engineering).
