This year, select 7th and 8th grade Gifted and Talented students participated in Knowledge Master Open, a CD-based competition held twice a year in which teams of students compete — nationally and internationally — without leaving their own schools. Over 3,000 schools and 45,000 students from the U.S. and several foreign lands participate in this challenge.
